  Randy, but you missed the point.
  The ULA proposal should say that all routers, everywhere, should
filter ULA/7 space --- by this I mean, blackhole route, not ACL. (Plus
ingress filtering on source IPs)

  Then, when you want to have semi-permeable borders, you permit
specific /32 or /48s through.  This is MUCH easier than with site-local
addresses, because the router is assured that it doesn't have the same
site-local address on two interfaces.

  Further, the reason I don't like rfc4193 for use in other than ad-hoc
networks is that a third party can't tell who an address belongs to. So,
when you *do* get:

    Randy> can you say "massive misconfiguration and leakage" three times quickly?

  you can use whois to find out who it belongs to.
  In the absense of ULA-Vixie (which letter is your's Paul?), people
like me are going to ask for PI space. (Thank you to those who offered
me a /48 out of their assignment, btw)
