I don't think this would solve the problem that I'm concerned about - which is that the very existence of scoped addresses, coupled with the expectation by sites that it's acceptable to use them by applications, has the effect of damaging reliability and response time of apps that are exposed to such addresses, and drastically increasing the complexity of distributed applications that try to deal with them in a sane fashion. trying to justify SLs in a BCP seems like the wrong approach - it's really not clear that SLs are good for anything or that they should ever be used (except perhaps on completely isolated networks) when you consider the associated costs. IMHO SLs should go the way of A6 records.
