Upon re-reading the ULA spec, I noticed that ULAs are actually of 'global' scope, so original wording is OK. Since 2464bis applies to global scope addresses, we are set.

Yes - there are 9 instances in the body and 1 in the abstract and non-local would be right for all these places I believe.
Hmm, the changes are not small and could make the resulting text a bit vague, but this time I tend to agree on the change.
On the second thought, I suspect "non-local" is still confusing...even though we are going to define the term as "an address which has a larger scope than link-local," one might wonder if it includes "unique local addresses" (when standardized) in the body of the document.
I can think of two alternatives:
1. "non-link-local addresses". This is perhaps verbose, but the meaning will be clearer. But one may still wonder if those include the unspecified address, etc. 2. "large-scope addresses". On one hand, this is perhaps more vague than "non-link-local". But on the other, it will clearly exclude the unspecified address.
Are either or both alternatives better? Or can we simply use "non-local"? Or are there any other options?
