Wind River might be able to coerce their entire network into being
a single "site" in the manner you suggest.

However, it seems like it would be a stretch to expect all networks
to make sites boundaries coincide with the boundaries of the realms
using global address prefixes just so that we could have a common
renumbering solution based on site-locals.

For similar reasons it seems like a stretch to expect applications
to prefer site-locals over globals (when both are available) -
if a site boundary doesn't have to coincide with the boundary
of the portion of the network using a particular global prefix
then the application really has no idea whether either kind of 
address is more reachable by its intended peers (that have
both kinds of addresses) than the other.
