Ooops... :-} I guess I read some older RFC first, and the change never
registered on reading updates (and after implementing the first
version).

I have all the time falsely assumed that IPv6 address for a specific
link layer was n-bit prefix and 128-n bit identifier, where n could be
almost anything between 0 and 64.

So, there is only those addresses starting with 000 where anything is
possible. Thats lots of addresses still, so maybe I keep the
implementation as it is :-)
