No.  I meant it wouldn't consider a destination address that matches
fe80::/10 but not fe80::/64 to be on-link for any of its local links.

The BSD implementation doesn't (auto)generate a link-local address
that does not match fe80::/64.  It also doesn't send a packet to a
destination that matches fe80::/10 but not fe80::/64 to outside of the
node.  So I don't see any possibility of incompatibility, at least in
practice.

You may not *like* that implementation, but to me, it's merely a
matter of taste, not about correctness.

zero, as specified in RFC4291 and RFC4862 (btw I don't understand what
you mean by "when trying to recognise an LL address it has just
generated" in this context).
