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.

[Jens]: A recommendation is added in section 3.2.1 in new version -09

(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.

[Jens]: I believe it also applies here, but I don't see the need to mention 
that specifically in addition to the reference to draft-ietf-6man-default-iids. 
The link-local addresses are always derived from the link layer addresses.
