I've been telling people for years that with IPv6, you don't need a global scope address on an interface. The routing protocols use link locals, so they don't care. And should an ICMP message need to be generated, the source address is filled in with a global scope address borrowed from another interface that does have one.
However, I can't find any documentation for this behavior. Is there an RFC that specifies this as part of normal IPv6 router behavior?
