[ian] The current text describes how the CPE creates the /128 prefix to
use as its tunnel endpoint (when its provisioned with DHCPv6). This prefix
has been constructed using an existing /64 prefix and a suffix that has
been learnt through the v4 configuration information in OPTION_S46_LW4o6.
The CPE can’t try and build a tunnel until it has received all of these
parameters, as it wouldn’t have a tunnel endpoint address for the lwAFTR
either.

Ok, good, this is as I expected.

So, it learns the parameters over DHCPv6, creates the tunnel source /128
based on these parameters and builds the tunnel from there. In all
likelihood, there is also a SLAAC or IA_NA address on also that interface,
but as the lw4o6 client is configuring the source prefix as well as
building the tunnel, the right prefix is the one that its just configured.

Is the current text not conveying this, or do you think that there’s
something wrong with the method?

As I read it, the current text is not conveying this. I would suggest:

OLD:
   An IPv6 address from an assigned prefix is also required for the lwB4
   to use as the encapsulation source address for the softwire.  In
   order to enable end-to-end provisioning, the IPv6 address is
   constructed by taking the /64 prefix assigned to the WAN interface
   (learned via SLAAC, DHCPv6 or manual configuration) and suffixing
   64-bits for the interface identifier.  The /128 prefix is constructed
   as follows:

NEW:
   An IPv6 address from an assigned prefix is also required for the lwB4

   order to enable end-to-end provisioning, the IPv6 address is
   constructed by taking a /64 prefix assigned to the WAN interface
   and suffixing 64-bits for the interface identifier.  As there may be
   multiple WAN prefixes, of which only one can be used for lw4o6, the
   CPE is provisioned with the knowledge of which one to take.  The /128
   prefix is then constructed as follows:
