Ok, but what other type of resource can result in the MN being able to use
an IP address? It seems to me that only an IP address or a prefix will
qualify. And if allocating address on request is recommended, then that
only leaves a prefix.

If there are other types of resource that I'm missing, then "resource"
might be OK, as long as it has appropriate examples. But if the only two
options are "address" and "prefix" and "address" is not recommended, then
saying "resource" is at best unhelpful and at worst misleading.

Can you explain why you are concerned with using the term "prefix"?
