Let's ask a different question. Would the following be acceptable:
-
The address space FEC0::/10 is reserved for non-global use. It is intended
not to be globally routeable. All routers MUST by default blackhole any
packet destined to FEC0::/10, and MAY return a 'destination unreachable'

What do you do when two occurrences of FEC0::0001/64 exist
within a single routing domain?
This is the problem created by the current SL definition when
two 'sites' are united by merger or VPN and they both happen

This doesn't resolve the problem of ambiguous subnet prefixes
