Exactly.  And when explaining things, pointing to the documents that 
should shed light and be the authoritative references actually leads to 
more confusion than clarification.

If we plan for IPv6 to be with us for a while, it'd be nice that these 
things are consistent (whether as a result of deprecating/revising 
RFC4007, changing the definition of ULAs are globals, or others).

Thanks,
