I am working in the IEEE 802 Privacy Recommendations Study Group:
http://www.ieee802.org/PrivRecsg/
There will be matching work on this in the IETF, but the WorkGroup has not been chartered (will be after the November IETF meeting).
Minimally we will be developing a Recommended Practice for using Randomized Local MAC Addresses to enhance device privacy. IEEE 802.1 may recommend segmenting the local scope address space to separate items like Virtual Machines, from ephemeral privacy addresses. The SDN community has already asked to get a part of the local address space carved out for them.
But there is considerable ripple effects when a device, based on some policy TBD, keeps changing its MAC Address. The most obvious one is DHCP address leases. Using tools like MACspoof:

You can begin to see what happens. Much of the smarts for the client for WiFi will go into the WPA Supplicant and Jouni Malinen is already working on this. But I am also working on it for wired connections and can see a general advantage where at poweroff (or reboot) a device includes sending a DHCP Release.
Yes, this only helps in a limited set of cases (not where you unplug from the wired cafe), but every case where we can 'make things better' seems wise.
In the IETF there will probably be recommendations on Lease times for local scope addresses.
I welcome any comments on this.
