I see a problem with the following:

   At the same time, this tracking is per address.  In environments
   where the goal is tracking back to the user, additional external
   information will be necessary correlating a user with an address.  In
   the case of short lifetime privacy address usage, this external
   information will need to be based on more stable information such as
   the layer 2 media address.

If "layer 2 media address", means MAC, then these are easily spoofed, that might present a problem with the short lifetime privacy address usage.
