A few initial comments. Draft is not quite ready.

Section 2.1.3:
 6164 does not _recommend_ /127 it _permits_ /127 on p2p links.
 The ping pong attack is mitigated in RFC4443.
 I am not convinced there is justification that this document should recommend 
/127 for "security reasons".

Section 2.1.4:
  The description of the IID needs to be updated with the latest 
recommendations in 4291bis etc.
  The IID is no longer recommend to be created by MAC address for example.

  It might also be worth clarifying that the operator can only control a host's 
choice of IID / privacy by disabling SLAAC altogether.

Section 2.1.6:
 "DNS is often used for malware activities"... That just doesn't read well. I 
presume you aren't proposing to disable DNS? ;-)

Section 2.2:
 I am not sure that extension headers are one of the most critical 
differentiators between IPv4 and IPv6. IPv4 had variable length options...

Section 2.2.2:
 This section should be updated to reflect the new text in 2460bis. The 
reference to hbh-header-handling is no longer needed.

Section 2.2.3
 s/Fragment Extension Header/Fragment header
 Same for Hop by Hop options header. Please get the names of the headers 
correct.

Section 2.3.2:
 Consider Secure DHCPv6?

Section 2.3.3:
 I don't think those individual drafts are "actively" discussing methods to 
rate limit RA anymore. Wirth update / rewrite with summary from those 
discussions.

Section 2.7.2
  Remove the historic tunnel mechanisms? ISATAP, Teredo, 6to4?

Section 2.7.2.7:
  DS-lite is not a translation mechanism.

Section 2.7.2.8

 s/tunnel and encapsulation/encapsulation and translation/

Section 2.7.3.1:
 Why in an IPv6 document?

Section 3.1:
 In general update references. e.g. ipv6-eh-filtering is outdated.
 I question referencing opsec-ipv6-eh-filtering. It has wrong and outdated 
advice. E.g. on section of HBH header.
 The advice in ipv6-eh-filtering is essentially to ossify the network.

Section 5:
 Reference to balanced-ipv6-security... I don't think it is worth referencing 
an expired draft. Why not summarise the points in a paragraph?
