The point is that those commenting against SL don't run a real network. There will be filtering done in real networks. This filtering creates addresses and/or prefixes with a local scope of applicability. IE: There will be local scope addresses in any case. The only question is if we have a well-known prefix that everyone filters on, or random values that require explicit n-way coordination. This also affects applications that might want to leverage the prior knowledge of the existence of such a filter.
