Participate in both, but not route SL prefixes between them. This is
easy since it can track which interface is appropriate for any given
use.

If it is not capable of tracking which interface is in which site, it
should not be able to join more than one at a time. If it can, there is
no reason to limit its ability to be connected to.

I agree that it should be documented. The conditions that need specific
attention are; the case where there are multiple disconnected SL routing
spaces, and the node just happens to be attached to more than one
(multi-homed host model); the case where a site-border is also the
transition between the IGP & EGP (well understood border model); the
case where the site-border is expected to route between different SL
address administrations (unless the interconnecting router is also a
nat, this amounts to a normal IGP with one address domain under
distributed management).
