I think expecting applications to cope with a mixture of site-local
and global addresses is not only wrong, but unworkable, unless all
nodes are also guaranteed to have globals and the site-local 
addresses can safely be ignored.

no, it just results in those networks having to use slightly different
security measures for IPv6 than they used for IPv4.
