It's not claimed to be the "best" way, just one of many possible good ways. If you can demonstrate that your way is at least as good, go for it.
it should bepossible to incorporate RFC2777 verifiability to it.
There is no need for that, since your failure to use a good source of randomness hurts nobody except yourself. If you're too lazy to come up with a good method yourself, as most people are, there are several online RFC 4193-compliant prefix generators that will save you the effort. At least one even includes the ability to record your results and be assured (within the margin of best-effort service) that you will not collide with anyone else who does so.
