Yes... I just said that an autoconfiguration protocol that solves the 
configuration problem for global unique IPs or ULAs would be trivial to adapt 
for generating "link local" IPs, just by putting the LL-prefix to the 
generated ULAs.

There is nothing wrong with this. This strategy will solve the LL-generation.
Which instantly contradicts the statement "there is no mechanism to ensure..." 
part.

No problem with this one.
