Regarding the default address selection rules, I don't think
site-local adds much stuff. We also need to handle link-local in the
selection rules, which could impact the host implementations enough.
In fact, in our implementation of the address selection, there is only
few additional code that is specific to site-local.
If the host implementation is *completely* unconscious of scoped
addresses (which would be the case for some "minimal" implementation),
it will be able to reduce much on the size and complexity.
