No, but it does say that valid IID lengths are defined for link types by their specification, and that invalid prefix lengths for a given link type MUST be ignored— and not just for stateless auto configuration but *ALSO* for on-link determination.

Shorter james: if IETF will insist that I modify my host IPv6 stack so that, on Wi-Fi links, it will do on-link determination with prefix lengths other than 64 bits, then I want to see that in its own draft and not in the successor to RFC 4291.
