DISCUSS:

* Section 4.2.

I found the explanation to be useful but the prefix that was not selected seems
to be wrong (a prefix with non-zero bits past the prefix length does not really
make sense). The prefix that is adjacent to 64:ff9b::/96 is actually
64:ff9a:ffff::/48 and not 64:ff9a:ffff:ffff::/48 as described in the document.
This means that most of the text that follows is incorrect. i.e. The range will
be 64:ff9a:ffff:: - 64:ff9b::ffff:ffff and not 64:ff9a:ffff:ffff:: -
64:ff9b::ffff:ffff

P.S.: I thought hard about whether this should be a DISCUSS or a COMMENT but I
decided to go with a DISCUSS because I think it really needs to be fixed
