A simple proposal:
FEC0::/48 good enough for (most) home nets, SOHO, etc.
FEE<36-bit random#>/48 NUSLA
FEFF<4-byte AS#>/48 for sites that absolutely, positively care about
global uniqueness
Any special casing for site-locals in the stack and the API should be removed.
Use at your own risk, just like rfc1918 addresses.
The latter (FEFF<AS#>/48) are portable global addresses. If you can pay
someone enough to announce them for you in the DFZ, hooray for you.
