okay, I'm fine with that at this point.
I think it's better it be the constructed LL.

Good.

I think that we can do this.
It might be better if the traffic came from ff02::2, but I'm not sure that
would be acceptable for IPv6 reasons.
I am concerned that a reply from a different L3 address will not be acceptable
to some coap libraries.
