I guess I don't understand the latter sentence...
- what is "this format"? (perhaps it's "fe80::1(some delimiter)de0"
for URI)
- what do you mean by unique?
- what do you mean by "it's already been told based on the URI format"?

I also seem to fail to understand this sentence...what do you mean by
"the fact that a zone is present separately from the address"?
