I agree 100% with Micehls' point - assigning unique IDs to sites for use in site-local addresses moves the site-local addresses into a globally routable address space, with the additional feature that those addresses are provider independent. The result would be an address space that is site-local by (potentially unenforceable) executive fiat rather than by technical design.
