There has been a very long discussion on the fate of Site Local addresses
in the wg. There are still two opposite views of what to do about them:
a) Do not require apps to support multi-sited nodes now, but
keep the address selection rules in place.
This means that in the future, if SL are available,
they will be used by ALL applications by default.
b) Do not require apps to support multi-sited nodes now, and
remove the address selection rule that deal with scoped addresses.
This means that in the future, if SL are available,
they will not be used by default, but only by applications that
request them.
Keith has promised a draft to explain the trade-off between those two
approaches,
I think we should not advance draft-ietf-ipv6-default-addr-select-08.txt
until there is a clear resolution on this question.
