Site-Local (FEC0::/10), for example, cannot be used by any device (RFC 3879: Deprecating Site Local Addresses. The prefix MUST NOT be reassigned for other use except by a future IETF standards action.)

So you don't configure your DHCP server to give out those IP
addresses.  Problem solved.  This doesn't need a protocol change.  And
should it (the FEC0::/10 prefix) be reassigned for other uses in a
future IETF standards action, then one would need to change your
application again, and/or change the DHCP server again.   And, the
application may be in use in some network that already has that prefix
in use because that network has not had the time to renumber that
prefix into something like a Unique Local IPv6 prefix (RFC 4193).
