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.
