so, i'm not conviced that we have this third property adequately
written down in the existing site-local case.
The ambiguity means that you can't count on them working, but because
of the likelihood of configuration error plus the likelihood that
many/most routers will forward site-locals by default, you can't count
on them reliably not working, either!
