I don't think it solves what it thinks it solves, but if this REALLY 
should be implemented, it's my initial thinking that the H flag should be 
a MUST demand to only have ONE and only one MAC-based IPv6 address 
according to EUI64. I would appreciate some reasoning in the draft why 
this was chosen as a SHOULD option.

I do not like the "disable Privacy"-flag thinking at all and I really 
oppose going with that solution.
