        And application break when you use non-globally-routed GA's.

        People want permanent private address space be that multiply
        allocated (SL/1918) or non-globally-routed global address
        space (NGRGAS).  Passing addresses in either is not
        guaranteed to work with every node.  NGRGAS removes one
        address maps to multiple nodes but it does not help identify
        if two nodes share a common site though you can identify
        if a node shares your site.

        NGRGAS also requires a registry to allocate the address space.
        
        However if you look at my SA6 solution you can reliably
        detect if two nodes share a common site.  You can pass around
        references without ambiguity.  You don't need a seperate
        registry.
