>I agree with kre, stick to fec0::/10.

So many people have spoken in favour of that that I think I need to
state the contrary position.  Having uniquish IDs under fec0::/10 may
well be a useful technique, but it's quite different from the suggestion
that we started with, which was to have persistent unique prefixes in
globally-scoped address space.  For me, a major part of the appeal of
fc00::/7 addresses is that they don't come with any non-global-scope
semantics attached, and so they'll play nicely (i.e., interact in the
obvious way) with routable global addresses.

People have started to suggest attaching scoping semantics to fc00::/7
adddresses, which is what led to fc00::/10.  I think this was a mistake.
Leave fc00::/7 without special semantics -- that's the point of it.
People that want scoping: if you want fc00::/10, you know where to get it.
