I do have one comment:

----------
2.5  IPv6 Addressing

  One site using this VLAN technique has chosen to number its IPv6
  links with the format [Site IPv6 prefix]:[VLAN ID]::/64.  This is not
  a recommended addressing plan, but some sites may wish to consider
  its usage.
----------

I see two ways of reading this text.  The first is that there is some 
fundamental flaw with this addressing format and other options should be 
considered.  The second is that this format is just being used as an 
example, but the document takes no stand on any particular scheme.

If Tim would please clarify...
