Calling a new type of address 'site-local' is only creating confusion. Of course, you can ask IANA to allocate a prefix for your particular purpose, and may be fec0:: but who knows. It seems bad to me to argue based on properties of a prefix you don't know you will get. You call it 'site-local' and it seems that indeed you are recreating all of the problems of the original site-local. I.e, what if a single router is part of two OMNI sites, how the router distinguish between the two uses of the same prefix? Certainly if every mobile phone becomes an OMNI device it is quite likely that some router will serve multiple OMNI sites. ULA solved this problem. So it makes sense for OMNI to use ULA instead of a fixed prefix. Now back to your technical argument. Using a 64-bit IID for both link-local and the "site-local" makes changing from one prefix to another as cheap as you are proposing. That said, any architecture where routers change addresses of packets on the fly is something I would avoid using. It is up to the originating transport protocol to select the source and destination address of a packet, and then all routers do is transport it to the destination. At the destination the packet arrives (mostly) unchanged. If we wanted address translation, we could just stay with IPv4.
