the IPv6 W.G does not do "final decisions", just wait 6 months and
site-locals are back on the table. consensus has to be reached on the
mailing list in any case.

even though site-locals are discouraged, I would be surprised
if the fec0::/10 bit-pattern will be re-allocated to something
else. i.e you can safely use them for your purpose.

public addresses is the best choice.
