I don't think there was an intent when 2462 was written that it affect the lifetime for DHCP assigned addresses. I don't think anybody knew at the time how DHCPv6 would manage lifetimes. And I'm sure the intent was not to affect some lifetime on manually configured addresses. Given this I think it makes sense to explicitly state in RFC 2462 that "the list" is the (per interface) list of stateless prefixes learned from router advertisements (i.e. the prefixes with the A-bit set).
