SLs where originally defined as overlapping, but with the recent changes in addr-arch this is no longer necessary. Site-locals can and should be mutated into non-globally routable global address space (NGRGAS). The inability to operate stable addresses in parallel with provider addresses is going to make the the deployment of IPv6 NAT more likely, not less. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Steven L.
