I have concerns on the fact that par. 5.1.3.1 defines the "L2 type" 
and "L2 ID" fields as a L2 general ID (with unassigned values and 
prefixes).

The fixed-length EUI-64 is used as a global identifier in a number of 
the format prefixes Interface IDs (including IEEE802).

Why using what haven't been already defined when something else has 
been defined and registered?
