The last sentence of the paragraph is no longer correct. The addresses <prefix-a>::1 and <prefix-b>::1 can be on the same link and even on the same interface. In addition, I see no need for the two sentences that precede that sentence or for the paragraph that follows it. Appendix A needs changes also. Under the heading "Links without Identifiers", I find five references to link-unique interface IDs instead of subnet-prefix-unique interface IDs.
