As long as the draft still insists on "it needs to be a prefix
suitable for SLAAC" while it's fairly clear that nobody really has
the energy to get a non-/64-SLAAC document through 6man, this sort
of word smithing will not affect my objection to the draft.

How can it do anything else but require excessive amounts of space
when it insists on SLAAC-suitable prefixes?

Let me repeat that no wifi or wired network that I will ever have an
influence on will ever delegate /64s to end devices.  You can have /80s
or smaller all you want.  So your implementations will need to take that
into account - and if they can't deal with it, will have to use NAT66
then.
