Section Appendix A says:

Note: [EUI-64] actually defines 0xFF and 0xFF as the bits to be
         inserted to create an IEEE EUI-64 identifier from an IEEE MAC-
         48 identifier.

It should say:

Note: [EUI-64] actually defines 0xFF and 0xFE as the bits to be
         inserted to create an IEEE EUI-64 identifier from an IEEE MAC-
         48 identifier.

Notes:

Just seems to be a typo

-- Verifier note --
This is indeed a minor typo as the rest of the RFC is clear that 0xFF and 0xFE are used.
