That ambiguity around the prefix length /10 vs /64 of a link-local
address should be clarified.

If clarified, among other advantages, it would  allow to write C code
which, when typing "ifconfig eth0 add fe80::1" it would know to fill in
the prefix length by itself, and not wonder about which length should it be.

I'm sure the intention was to reserve the entire /10 prefix but it's
correct that the RFC is not clear about this. Seems like an erratum
is needed.
