My reading of RFC3484 is that privacy addresses are NOT preferred, but
that it should be possible on a host to change that preference. See
"Rule 7" in Section 5 (on page 11):
"Rule 7: Prefer public addresses.
If SA is a public address and SB is a temporary address, then
prefer SA. Similarly, if SB is a public address and SA is a
temporary address, then prefer SB.
[...]
Implementations MUST provide a mechanism allowing an
application to reverse the sense of this preference and prefer
temporary addresses over public addresses[...]"
Your idea may still be good, just possibly not for that reason.
Regards, K.
