Let me make a minor correction (which is not essential for this
discussion). It is true that ff0e::/16 is global, but the addrarch
draft does not define a "global all-hosts" group. The draft only
defines such type of groups for interface-local and link-local scopes:
All Nodes Addresses: FF01:0:0:0:0:0:0:1
FF02:0:0:0:0:0:0:1
The above multicast addresses identify the group of all IPv6 nodes,
within scope 1 (interface-local) or 2 (link-local).
