But, how does that work with ILA's approach of identifier management?  With the 
previously IETF recommended approaches in RFC5213 and even in 3GPP 
architecture, per RFC3315, the network assigned  a set of unique prefixes for 
each MN, allowed the MN to generate the identifiers.  Even CGA addressing 
worked with the per-MN prefix model.

But, with ILA there is no concept of prefix assignment. Will ILA network now 
generate a identifier block for each MN?  Is DHCPv6 the only approach?

If that block is not summarizable, will it not result in mapping table size 
getting multiple many times?

Echoing Tom's earlier comment about this: I think the address assignment 
sections (6.3 and 8.3) should be reworded to clarify that for general purpose 
hosts, best practice is not to use singleton addresses, but always to provide a 
/64 prefix.
