The value of the loopback prefix is not that it's routed to loopback. It's that *everybody knows* it's always routed to loopback.

Indeed. Clarity always wins, this is why I tend to like this I-D (albeit it should be rewritten).

BTW, the choice of ::/64 is probably not the best choice as it includes the deprecated ::/96 for IPv4-compatible IPv6 address.
