The intent of the line was regarding site-local only, specifically not the current discussion on permanent/temporary preferences. >the introduction of scoped addresses into the Internet architecture >has caused several problems for apps which are difficult to solve . >even if there's not consensus to do away with them entirely, >we need to understand how to minimize the damage, and that probably >means minimizing the use of limited-scope addresses. So it's not >clear to me that having the WG complete the current Scoped Address >Architecture document is an appropriate goal. The intent behind the "complete the Scoped Address Architecture" action was that if we are going to have site-local we need to define how they work. I think you are suggesting that will need to do additional work to provide guidance as to the appropriate use of limited scope addresses, specifically including application considerations. Agree?
