Pekka,
Unfortunately, if someone had this they probably would have used it to
explain why local addresses should be removed from IPv6.
Since no one was able to produce it then, I doubt it exists now.
But I would love to see it if there is one, as this would help close the
issue, because it would need to explain why they are bad and what can be
used to replace the perceived good that people (like the enterprise that you
mention) see in them.
