My proposal does not modify or steal anything away from a company's EUI-48.
My proposal defines a new EUI/MAC-48 encapsulation into EUI-64.  So unless
someone else has already done exactly that, I think it is fair game to
introduce a new EUI-64 encapsulation of EUI/MAC-48 numbers for VM-based
systems.
