Hi,

I think the ULA section is still not quite right.

1. I think it is worth mentioning that ULAs should be filtered at domain
boundaries.

2. Actually they are *similar* to RFC1918 - but they are not the same.

3. I don't think there is any use in referencing a draft that you describe
as "dead".

So, a possible rewrite:

2.1.1.  Use of ULAs

   Unique Local Addresses (ULAs) [RFC4193] are intended for scenarios
   where interfaces are not globally reachable, despite being routed
   within a domain. They formally have global scope, but RFC 4193
   sepcifies that they must be filtered out at domain boundaries.
   ULAs are different from [RFC1918] addresses and have different use
   cases. One use case is described in [RFC4864].

Regards
   Brian Carpenter
