Vidya, James,

This gets me back to where Julien started this thread --- whether
it makes sense to have a link local scope larger than the per node
global prefix scope.

We have talked about whether that breaks the addressing
model or not. (There may also be other technical issues to
discuss. What happens to link local communications
when you move, for instance?)

But we should also talk about what the need is. One of the
potential targets for the NETLMM work is specific cellular
networks. If these networks employ p2p links, per node
prefixes, and generally do not use shared media services,
the question is if the WG wants to spend time designing
something that goes beyond this. Keep it simple unless
you have a reason not to.
