GSE, and its descendants 8+8, ILNP, and NPTv6, all consider the prefix to be 
the locator and the IID the identifier. That, btw, is the origin of the term 
"Interface Identifier" in RFC 4291, and the logic that led us to allocating 
/64s to LANs - along with the fact that MAC addresses in some LANs are longer 
than 48 bits.

I would disagree with that; the development of an IPv6 Internet has been 
hampered primarily by the lack of pressing need for one. As we run out of IPv4 
address space, businesses that depend on periodic allocations of new address 
space have been taking pretty strong steps to deploy IPv6.
