i believe we have some clues on application consideration to scoped addresses.
I don't get the sense that we have consensus on this, because some people seem to think that scoped addresses are appropriate for use by general-purpose apps. for instance, there's really no way that an application can effectively use a scoped address in a referral to another host, since the app has no idea whether the host that uses the referral has access to the same scope as the party providing the referral. name-to-address mapping is only one instance of this problem.
