I don't see why it's odd.  Shouldn't we worry about misconfiguration
for those addresses as well?  Wouldn't it be "bad" if there were a
conflict with both peers choosing to use the same non-link-local
address?

I suppose making it clear that addresses besides the link-locals are
out of scope for IPV6CP would be helpful.  (I thought that was clear
enough from the existing text, but clearer still likely isn't wrong.)
