Fred,

I think most people read SLA as Site-Local Address, especially since you are proposing to use the prefix defined in RFC3513:

   Site-local unicast   1111111011           FEC0::/10       2.5.6

In my view any proposal to reuse this prefix, will need to deal with the issues raised in RFC 3879, the document that deprecated this prefix.   This would need its own document that would obsolete RFC 3879.  It would also need to investigate if deployed hosts and routers block these prefixes.

Bob
