(Although this may have been discussed...,)
I think the document should clearly specify what the network prefix
part should be when the prefix length is larger than 64. I know the
draft has the following text
With the network prefix-based architecture and the current unicast
address architecture [RFC 2374], the network prefix portion of the
multicast address will be at most 64 bits.
and I agree that we won't see a longer (standardized) prefix which is
larger than 64bits in length in the near future. But I still think
the draft should care about the future extensions and
ill-configurations.
