In your previous mail you wrote:
I strongly object to Temporary Addresses being preferred over Public
Addresses in source address selection.
The reason is that most communications of IPv6 will not be on the Internet
but on Intranets. The default should reflect that reality.
And a web server should be using a public address that can last for weeks.
=> there are two issues:
- what are the defaults?
= how to change them?
Of course if the second issue is solved then the first one becomes
a matter of taste/personal choice of implementers. Unfortunately
if there are some nice policy hooks they don't apply to the
temporary/public choice (or the home/care-of one). I strongly
suggest to add in the document some reasonable hooks (reasonable =
something which can be set in the context of applications, not
only a setsockopt) for this kind of policies...

BTW I share Jim's opinion about temporary addresses.
