Tim,
That sounds more like a call to update the spec than to ignore the

That is just one of the several-to-many examples of things that have assume

The world has more devices than Ethernet. The Ethernet MAC -> EUI-64
trick (thus your lost fffe bits
For what it's worth,
Whenever statelessly auto-configuring an IPv6 address on Ethernet the
10th and 11th bytes are always 'fffe', hardcoded. These are lost bits.
