yes, intermittent connection is one of the genuinely valid justifications
for SLs.
Glad to hear you agree.
however even with intermittent connection it is often possible to use
globals rather than SLs. the exception is a nomadic network that
connects to the net at different locations at different times, and
whose hosts don't have home agent(s) for mobile IP.
This is exactly the case my message describe, modulo your point
"whose hosts don't have home agent(s) for mobile IP", which I don't
see as being relevant. In the case I described, two models are possible:
1) The node's "home" is the MANET itself
2) The node has a distant home and is always a visitor
in whichever MANET it is currently in
Either way, when associated with a MANET that is currently disconnected
from the global Internet, site-locals seem like a nice feature.
