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.
Sounds like an excellent definition to me.
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.
Correct. If we later introduce the concept of private addressing to IPv6, we would need to do it in a way that wouldn't break deployed apps. This might include things like the separate DNS record that Erik Nordmark proposed, and/or other IP-level mechanisms to prevent handing site-local addresses to applications that don't know how to deal with them.
