I've been trying to push the changing of this:
o An anycast address must not be assigned to an IPv6 host, that
is, it may be assigned to an IPv6 router only.
in addr-arch-v3-07 to change 'must' to a 'should' for some time now, with
not much progress.
I think this is one item that should be changed before addr-arch is done
with in the IESG and locked for a few years.
