I'm afraid the phrase of "additional addresses" is a little bit vague.
If we need a compromise, perhaps we could add something to the
definition of "global address" in Section 2 such as:
global address - an address with unlimited scope. From stateless
address autoconfiguration's perspective, it essentially means
an address that has larger scope than link-local.
