What in your opinion would be easier - a) update RFC4291 to allow coding of
the link-local address 54 zero bits, or b) update RFC4861 to allow routers to use
site-local addresses instead of link-local?

We need a good answer for this - either a) or b). The benefit of what is being
proposed by OMNI is too great to simply say no to both.

Thanks - Fred
