Summary: This document is almsot ready for publication as an RFC.

Major issues: N/A

Minor issues:
    The proposed status seems questionable.  We as a community are not
    recommending that operators assign unique prefixes to hosts.  This document
    is saying "if you want to do that, here is a way, using existing tools, to
    make that work."  The document also recommends specific setting of other
    flags (the O flag in the RA, for example) that are not closely coupled to
    the particular topic.  This looks like an ordinary Informational RFC.  I
    would have no concern with this being published with that label.

Nits/editorial comments:
    As per the nits checker, the document uses RFC 2119 terminology.  The usage
    seems quite appropriate.  The document should therefore cite RFC 2119.
    Also, as per the nits checker, the document references RFC 6106.  It should
    reference RFC 8106.
