3.0 IANA Considerations

The following prefix is reserved for use in documentation and MUST
NOT be assigned to any operational IPv6 nodes:

I disagree. Having the reserved prefix is a good think and
will hopefully prevent what happen when Sun folks started
documenting examples using our address space.
Having this prefix defined in a separated document was attempted
about 2 years ago (remember Marc Blanchet's document? He was
the first one to point out the need for this) and did not go anywhere.

As most people will use addresses within 2000::/3, it makes sense
to reserve the documentation prefix from that space and this
documents seems to me the perfect place to do so.
