This individual work will be included in a revision of RFC3162 that Glen

Correction.  On a link with no router advertisements you need to
configure any addresses and prefixes manually and separately.

There is no expectation that the prefix from an assigned address is
necessarily on the link.  On-link prefixes are independent from assigned
addresses.
