No, DUID-LL doesn't change, DUID-LLT always changes.  DUID-LLT is dynamic because the T stands for time.

I wrote that text in RFC3315... :)

LLT uses the time at the moment of generation to create a DUID that's expected to be unique, because it's unlikely that the same network hardware will be in the same machine that returns the same time when the DUID is generated, even if the clock hasn't been accurately set.
