Hi Owen,

> I suppose another viable solution would be to require all privacy addresses to use a common lower 24 bit string.

That would defeat the purpose of the solicited node multicast address. All of them would use the same one, so all hosts have to listen to the same one, and we're back to ARP-like efficiency again...

Cheers,
Sander
