This draft seems to link itself unnecessarily with Stateless Address Autoconfiguration, since it seems that the same mechanisms work under DHCPv6 - see: (RFC3315, Section 22.5). Unless I am missing something, the only difference I see is that the entity that generates the temporary addresses is the DHCP server instead of the client. In particular, the text of Section 2.4, paragraph 1 beginning: "But DHCPv6 will solve the privacy issue" is new since RFC3041 and seems to make questionable statements about the use of DHCP for generating temporary addresses, since 1) the server can be configured to hand out temporary addresses with short preferred/ valid lifetimes, and 2) the client can go back to the server to get new temporary addresses whenever it wants to regardless of preferred/valid lifetimes. Again, unless I am missing something, suggestions are to 1) remove this new text from Section 2.4, and 2) relax any text (including the document title) that links the generation of privacy addresses with Stateless Address Autoconfiguration.
