It seems to me that you are taking IPv6 address as "ID + locator", prefix is
the location and IID is the Identifier.
However, the traditional IPv6 address is "ID&locator", the IPv6 address
provides not only the location but also the Identifier.

I'm not sure, but I don't think IDv6 would accelerate IPv6 development.
In my impression, the slow IPv6 transition is because there are too many
NAT64 NATs, so the participants have no strong motivation to develop IPv6.
Now your bring NPT66 (another manner of NAT, as you said "an IPv6 network
address (header) which is allocated by the ISP: this is the actual IPv6
address", this box is an actual address translation device) or splitting
IPv6 ("ID&Locator" => "ID + Locator"), are they really beneficial to pure
IPv6?
