Hi Bernie,

4291 does mention it in Appendix A:
where "c" is the bits of the assigned company_id, "0" is the value of
the universal/local bit to indicate universal scope, "g" is
individual/group bit, and "m" is the bits of the manufacturer-
selected extension identifier. The IPv6 interface identifier would
be of the form:
|0 1|1 3|3 4|4 6|
|0 5|6 1|2 7|8 3|

The only change is inverting the value of the universal/local bit.
It mentions what the format of the EUI-64 is. Not what these bits mean
in the IID. My take on this is that the format of the EUI-64 has nothing
whatsoever to do with the format of the IID. If this were true we need
to get OUIs assigned by IEEE (The 'c' bits in the figure) for each of
the random IID generation techniques. Do you agree?
Cheers
