(Although this message might be rather confusing...) More accurately,
you need to specify the outgoing "link". The difference between
interfaces and links is documented in
draft-ietf-ipngwg-scoping-arch-02.txt.

The -I option specifies the outgoing *interface*.
fe80...%if0 specifies the outgoing *link*, assuming we have one-to-one
mapping between links and interfaces (KAME/BSD assumes the mapping in
its implementation). As a result of the assumption, those two would
make the same effect.
