I didn't mean to imply that the AAC and DHCP addresses would come from the same prefix - there's nothing that precludes such assignment; I can't think of a reason why it would be done in practice. I simply stated that the host would configure a collection of AAC addresses and DHCP-assigned addresses from the collection of prefixes available on the link.
