	There's something called "site local address" defined in rfc1884.
	However, scoped address has so many twists.  You must be very careful
	configuring nameservers for site local addresses.  Also, there's is
	very hard problem for site border routers...

	I believe people would like to get rid of NAT when v6 is deployed, 
	so there will be no private address, I believe...
