OK

I have to agree that the spec is already clear enough. 
Sorry for how I asked the question.

Maybe you could improve the first sentence of sec. 6 to say::
"The Interface identifier format is based on the format specified in section 
2.2 of [RFC6052], with the added PSID format field, or with an IPv4 prefix 
instead of an IPv4 address." 


Thanks,
