Okay, thanks for the clarification.  I had actually intended to
propose a similar change, but the discussion have started earlier than
I expected:-)

(You meant the revison of RFC 2462?)  I think it is in the scope of
this work, but do you have a concrete reference to the conversation?
Which interim meeting are you talking about?  The latest ipv6 interim
meeting I remember is the one held in Sep/Oct 1999.  I've roughly gone
through the meeting minutes at 
http://playground.sun.com/pub/ipng/html/minutes/ipng-minutes-Sep99.txt
but I could not find a discussion relevant to this topic.
