This issue was discussed on the list and in the last meeting. There were two sub issues:
1. How does a host configure an address? 2. Inconsistency with ADDRARCH We agreed that (1) is out of scope for 2461bis and is more relevant for address configuration mechanisms. (2) was discussed in the meeting and we agreed to reflect in the draft that since some prefixes may not be 64 bits (ones starting with 000) then the prefix length field is ok to allow for variable length prefixes. I'll add text in the new version to reflect (2). If there are no objections to the above I intend to close this issue.
