A BCP that discourages uses of SLs except in certain narrow cases and explains why is probably more useful than a BCP that tries to explain exactly when SLs cause problems and when they don't. Of course, it's quite possible to have both.
I just happen to have a somewhat incomplete document lying around that I think could be an excellent start for this BCP.
Unfortunately, we're past the -00 draft deadline, so I can't post it, but I will try to finish it up and post it after Atlanta. Who would like to help me fill in the missing pieces? I could particularly use some help documenting the issues that site-locals cause for: - Applications - Security Protocols (and security issues in general) - Transport Protocols (particularly the voice/session stuff) - DNS Keith, can I sign you up to help with applications? I think I have a good handle on the routing and network management issues, and some general issues.
