RFC 4007 only defines two scopes for unicast addresses: “link local” and “global.” In this taxonomy, ULA is clearly and unambiguously global, so there is no mistake.

But you think there’s a problem. In order for us to know what to do about this problem, you need to be able to articulate it in a way that makes sense to us. The best way to do so is to point to a case where the behavior of some system will be incorrect because this was not specified correctly. Can you point to such a case?
