        I guess in that case that would be a doc error from
        that vendor. I would expect the doc to say something like
        http://<some-link-local-addr><the-delimiter><"name of your nic">

        I guess a general user that has little understanding of 
        zone id is probably not going to be able to config that 
      home router correctly... So IMHO the simplication in config
        would apply to many but not all, as you say, thus justifying
        its usefulness.
