This appears to me the opposite of what is generally done within the
IETF. First we write requirements then we look at specific scenarios,
not the opposite.



My point exactly! Why are we writing requirements for _local addressing_, and not writing requirements to solve the problems which people perceive exist in IPv6 after the elimination of site-locals?!!?!



That is what the hain/templin draft is about! The title of the draft is:


"Addressing Requirements for Local Communications within Sites"

The title articulates the problem space which is perceived as requiring
new solutions after the elimination of site-locals; it is not pre-judging
what those solutions should be. If you think any of the requirements or
scenarios in the document are invalid and/or leaning too strongly in favor
of a particular solution alternative, please send specific comments to that
effect. (I saw that you did provide some pointed comments earlier;
thanks for those.)
