In any case for _existing_ implementations the setting of those bits does not matter. There are no implementations that interpret the interface-ids.

That's irrelevant. The address standard *requires* the u/g bits to be set
appropriately. Until that changes, we have to do so.

(I believe that ILNP doesn't care, but that's not the point.)
