I probably need to add the case that isn't shown, i.e. "GUA" prefixes *not* being routed Internet-wide, at which point the scope difference between a ULA prefix and a "GUA" prefix sort of vanishes. Area(global) isn't really a thing, just as the BGP4 default-free zone isn't really a thing. And when Area(ULA1) overlaps with Area(ULA2) you suddenly have another scope that is Area(ULA1+ULA2). 

So guess what I'm trying to say is the inequality isn't the least bit useful.
