I don't think that the addr arch is the right place to do this.

If we start defining how each type of address in the addr arch
will be used, we will basically end-up moving most of the scoped
addressing architecture document into the addressing architecture,
and it will never be finished.

Also, we don't have any declared consensus about how/if we will
limit site-locals at all...

The current addr arch is light-years ahead of the RFC version, and
I think that we need to get it published.

I'd like to keep talking about the site-local issues, and I hope
that we can get some changes made in the scoped addressing
architecture. Part of the discussion of those changes should (and
will) be a discussion of what impact those changes would have on
other IPv6 documents, including (possibly) the addr arch, address
autoconf, etc.  If/when we have agreement on what changes to make,
that may include changes to other documents.

In the meantime, though, I don't think we should hold up the
addressing architecture.  It has been held up, literally, for
years because there is always some ongoing discussion that
_might_ require changes to it (most of them don't), and I think
that has to stop.
