I picked it up from one of Deering's recent messages, not >realizing its specific meaning. My fault. In my email, I used the term site ID to refer to what you were proposing, i.e., a value to stick into site-local addresses between the 10-bit format prefix and the SLA field. I had overlooked the fact that we have also used the term site ID for the local identifier that a multi-sited node uses to distinguish between the different sites to which it is attached (an identifier that is never sent outside a node; a particular case of a scope zone identifier). Brian was referring to the latter.
