If the prefix of the site is longer than 64, the stateless address autoconfiguration cannot be used and the 
convenience it will bring cannot be shared.

I hope that SLAAC can be deployed in the sites which use the prefixes longer than 64. Not all sites use 
the 64-bit prefixes.

Let me play devil's advocate:

What problem are you really trying to solve?  Have you balanced the perceived value of the fix with the impact of implementing such (especially vendor responsibilities and user expectations!)?

Why would a site receive such a short prefix/block? (Aside from gross failure in planning, that is.)

Regarding "no right" - is that like saying we have "no right" to require 49 bit MACs?  Also, as you say it atleast twice - are you sure the IETF doesn't actually have the right?

Also, /s/detect/defect ... And note that this is a perceived defect, which most implementations don't see as a real problem.  Oh, and "scream" - really?

Thanks, TJ's Droid2 ... Pls excuse the top-posting.
