Tony's draft (http://www.tndh.net/~tony/ietf/site-local.txt) makes
a good case for globally unique provider independent addresses
with a non-routeability option. It would be interesting to know
if we have consensus about that.

IMHO it doesn't make a case for SLs in their present incarnation
(i.e. ambiguous address space). There is a lot of operational pain
in ambiguous address, once you start building VPNs between business
partners or otherwise merging "private" networks. I think we should
also seek consensus that ambiguous addresses are unacceptable.
