The sentence
> > " Among these types of addresses only the IPv6 link-local addresses
> > MAY be formed using an EUI-64 identifier. "
 is the logical equivalent to
"non LL Addresses MAY NOT be formed using an EUI-64 identifier". This should be said in a section that discusses non LL Addresses.

All the best,
