I don't see why using A=0 in the PIO is insufficient for this purpose.

That said, I also think a huge flaw in the draft is that existing hosts 
interpret the currently unused and reserved bit in the reverse sense, i.e. that 
privacy addresses are allowed when the value is zero.

If you want to propose a flag that expressly allows SLAAC without RFC 4941 
privacy addresses, then the sense of the bit needs to be reversed.  For 
example, the conceptual variable would be DisablePrivacyAddrs, and the bit in 
the PIO would be named the NoPrivacy flag.
