Ran, Going directly to your conclusion, it appears we have a clear common interest! Each of the designs we are interested in depends, to be complete, on reservation of a subset of the IID space left unused by RFC4291 (that having u=g=1). Since you talk about "a small portion" of this space for

Ran, I looked at the ILNP RFCs while we were preparing draft-carpenter-6man-ug-00, and it seemed to me that ILNP doesn't in fact use IIDs, but rather a redefinition of the bottom 64 bits as a Node Identifier [RFC6741]. Doesn't that separate the use of the u/g bits for ILNP completely from their us
