that being the case, i think it's "just plain wierd" that anybody is
arguing about the conceptual or architectural or complexity cost of SL
since the number of "address aware" programs is expected to remain quite
low in v6, perhaps lower as an overall share than in v4.  and for those
few programs, LL scopes and SL issues will not be a noticeable share of
the overall cost or complexity of the program.

the existence of scoped addresses in v6 forces a greater percentage of
programs to be address aware.  some programs that could avoid being
address aware in ipv4 cannot do so in v6 and provide the same functionality.
