No, there has been a refusal to accept that the problems raised are
bogus in all but the multi-party app case. This is the only reason the
discussion has lasted this long. 

The fundemental issue here the architecture has been changed to support
multiple simultanious scopes. Those that are having a hard time figuring
out how to do that are opposed to SL, because that address range exposes
the issue. This is a new environment where we will be able to develop
apps that were not possible in the single-scope environment of IPv4.
Rather than close that off because it is not easy to grasp, document the
case of multi-party app issues and lets move on. 

Again, if the wording is changed to make a significant architectural
change during the RFC editor process, expect an appeal.
