Well, I have an implementation.

If Bob is happy, I'd like to grab most of his text (since it's better
written than mine) and wrap it around my bit-ordering proposal.

I still have qualms with this.  I'm of the opinion that if site-locals exist
in a network then hosts should prefer them (iff both hosts have them); the
assumption is that SL addresses are at least as stable as externally sourced
addresses.

Of course, this policy will potentially be inappropriate for applications
that do address forwarding across a site boundary, but I'd argue that these
are the special case.  Apps that do address forwarding NOT across a site
boundary will be happy with the standard policy.
