(1) Limit the scope of the IPv6 WG's problem, by
                forbidding the use of site-local addresses
                on globally-connected networks in the
                scoped addressing architecture.  This would
                not preclude work in this area by other
                groups within the IETF/IRTF, and we could
                remove the restriction when the implications
                are fully understood.


seems reasonable to me, as long as "globally-connected" includes 
any IP network that is connected (directly or indirectly) via 
IP to a network that is connected to the global IPv6 Internet.

I also doubt we can ever "remove the restriction" in the
sense that we expect apps that were built to treat all addresses
as global to run when they're exposed to a mixture of global
and scoped addresses.
