I have to agree with this MUST NOT.

|+    Advertising locally assigned ULA AAAA records in the global DNS
|+    MUST NOT occur as they are not globally unique and will lead

Although there is a good chance that someone else in the world has my same
name, they don't receive their mail at my home address.  OK, Bad example
(reversed).  But if there is a chance of overlap; allowing this insures
there is a chance of misdirection.

I strongly object to making this a "MUST NOT," especially with the growing
uncertainty that there will ever be a _permanent_ centrally assigned flavor
of ULA available without recurring fees.

An important feature of even locally assigned ULAs is that they are globally
unique "enough" for many/most purposes that have been discussed.  After
months
of analysis to that end, their lack of absolute uniqueness is insufficient
to
justify adding new prohibition on a particular range of uses at this late
date.
