Also, once an address has been created by whatever means, I don't see
why <IP interface, IP address> wouldn't be sufficient to identify it

Building a house on shifting sand; the address can change due to
ND/DHCPv* at any time.
And it would be odd if I did
ipadm create-dynamic-ipv6 -i bge0
which configured N addresses, and then ipadm allows me to selectively
destroy those addresses.
Is "destroy" the right command here?
Or should it be "delete"?
Over the years, I have occasionally come across situations
where there is more than 1 DHCP server providing addresses.
If I recall correctly, the ISC DHCP client now used by BSD
allows you to "ignore" specific DHCP servers (or maybe it is
that you're selective about which answer you accept or
from who.) I think the problem you're alluding to here is
similar - in removing a specific, dynamically allocated, address
from the network interface, the chances are that the removal is
specific to the network & server you received it from.
Remembering that is something I can see as being worthwhile
and not likely to interfere with the other 30 hotel networks you
end up attached to during the rest of the year ;)
