Hi Colin,

It seems to me that if the addresses are global, presumably built on a
off-link prefix there is no problem.

Actually what the IPv6 algorithm says is 
"  Next-hop determination for a given unicast destination operates as
   follows.  The sender performs a longest prefix match against the
   Prefix List to determine whether the packet's destination is on- or
   off-link.  If the destination is on-link, the next-hop address is the
   same as the packet's destination address.  Otherwise, the sender
   selects a router from the Default Router List"
"  Once the IP address of the next-hop node is known, the sender
   examines the Neighbor Cache for link-layer information about that
   neighbor."

Best,
Mathilde
