That's already allowed by RFC 6085, which states:

   "Transmission of IPv6 Packets over Ethernet Networks" ([RFC2464],
   Section 7) specifies how an IPv6 packet with a multicast destination
   address is mapped into an Ethernet link-layer address.  This document
   extends this mapping to explicitly allow for a mapping of an IPv6
   packet with a multicast destination address into an Ethernet link-
   layer unicast address, when it is clear that only one address is
   relevant.
