Keith,
From a terminology perspective we have RFC 4941 defining temporary
addresses, but that document doesn't provide a term for the
non-temporary addresses. 4941 does have some text saying
a "public" (i.e., non-secret) server address, registered
in the DNS
FWIW RFC 5014 consistently uses "public" to refer to "not temporary".
I'm not sure the conclusions you're drawing are valid there. The 3
commonly accepted categories are SLAAC, static, and 4941/temporary. The
fact that an address may or may not be published in the DNS is
orthogonal to the type of address.
