Are you suggesting that someone should actually write router code to prevent this (i.e., treat site-locals as anything other than regular unicast addresses)? It would be better to produce a "Use of Non-Globally Reachable Unicast Addresses" BCP rather than put meaningless restrictions on address use in the specs. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Steven L.
