| 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.
Yes, as I've said - the proposals to stick IDs into SL addresses keeps
getting shot down.
I'm not sure that I think a lot of an argument that goes "well, someday
someone might misuse it, so we'd better not have it at all", but that's
not important for now.
What matters here, is that "global" addresses from a non routable prefix
have all of the same problems (they are identical, other than the bit
pattern that makes up the prefix).
