COMMENT:
----------------------------------------------------------------------

(1) draft-ietf-6lo-privacy-considerations says:

"Specifications should make sure that an IPv6 address can change
     over long periods of time.  For example, the interface identifier
     might change each time a device connects to the network (if
     connections are short), or might change each day (if connections
     can be long).  This is necessary to mitigate correlation over
     time."

This document doesn't seem to provide any guidance about supporting the
ability to change an IPv6 address. At least for non-link-local addresses,
I think it would make sense to encourage the use of address generation
schemes that align with the recommendation above given expected
deployment scenarios.

(2) draft-ietf-6man-default-iids says that the choice of address
generation mechanism should be configurable when a mechanism is
specified
to embed a link layer address in an IID. Is there a reason that doesn't
apply here? The document doesn't say anything about it for the
link-local
case.
