Hi John,
The specification reserves FE80::/10 for any link-local address
format. The only currently used instantiation is the FE80::/64 prefix.
In other words, a new RFC could define alternative formats for the
internal 54 bits underneath the FE80::/10 prefix.

Reading RFC 4291, I am not 100% clear on the format for
link-local addresses. In some places the document specifies fe80::/10,
which I read as the first ten bits must be 1110 10, the remaining
54 bits can be anything, up to the /64 bit boundary . Later in the
document I see this:

Link-Local addresses are for use on a single link. Link-Local
addresses have the following format:
| 10 |
| bits| 54 bits | 64 bits
