>Environment:
>Description:
IPv6 link-local address (fe80) is compared with IPv4 loopback address in the Handbook's IPv6 chapter.
>How-To-Repeat:
Visit http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/network-ipv6.html.
>Fix:
IPv6 link-local should be compared with IPv4 link-local, or Automatic Private IP Addressing (169.254.1.0 through 169.254.254.255), or even private IP addressing.

Maybe a note for site-local should be that it is deprecated (http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3879.txt).
