Sure, that is what assigning an address to an interface means. Are you saying
that you want to send datagrams that are destined to an address which is
assigned to a local interface, to a router, just because the advertised prefix
from which the address was derived had the "L" bit clear?
No; I'm not saying that. I don't see any ambiguity in accepting the /128 resulting from address autoconfiguration as being "on-node"; i.e., it seems clear enough that packets sent by the node to the autoconfigured address should be looped back internally and not sent to a router. But, I still see it as ambiguous as to whether the /128 must be "on-link" with the interface the RA arrived on.
