Agreed. This should, at the very least, be fixed in the way you indicate.

That said, a more general question would be: should we include the
(numeric) interface index rather than e.g. a hardware-specific I-D?

By replacing the "Modified-EUI-64" with the interfaece index, we'd get a
cool feature: you can change the NIC, and that doesn't affect the
resulting IPv6 address.

Thanks!
