Yes that is what the spec says, but reality is always somewhat
different. There is no technical reason that an anycast address could

there are technical reasons why anycast addresses can only be assigned
to routers, and why anycast can be used with limited number of cases
(like for instance it shouldn't be used as TCP endpoint address).

Itojun's analysis draft does a good job of describing the issues today.
Of course, I hope draft-haberman-ipv6-anycast-rr-00.txt helps to
remove some of those issues.
