I do agree with your last e-mail on the subject: the right value is 48-63!

With the spec as is, 0xFFFF must be avoided in bits 48-63 of ALL internal 
addresses it they are subject to stateless NAT66.
 
(In the inbound direction, where this field should be restored to 0xFFFF, it is 
restored to 0x0000. 
Due to "If the resulting value is 0xFFFF, it is changed to 0x0000", the mapping 
isn't completely 1:1.

The current sentence suggests that, if each CPE of a multi-CPE site has only 
one interface, each one MAY have 0xFFFF in bits 48-63.
In my understanding, this is wrong.
