I think this would be relatively simple to fix. We just need to add a
new range entry into the IID registry to mark all of IIDs based on the
IANA block as reserved and point to RFC5342. I can do this pretty
quickly once the draft submission reopens.

I am personally fine with either approach.

Thanks
