no, you can't do that with site local - the block has to be done by
configuration, where the administrator tells the router that a site
boundary exists, otherwise you end up just having link local addresses
with a lot of extra bits set...
This means that it will always be technically possible to explode the
site boundaries, and route using this new kind of address, if people
wanted to (whatever the address type is called).

This is certainly true - unique site locals (or GULRs or whatever) might add
to the pressure a little but they don't create it, and nor does anyone have
to take any notice of it. Their purpose is not for wire are routing.
That just needs to be made very clear.
