I'd make that '..., obtain an LLA address, or figure out how to do it via ARP, 
otherwise...'

That already makes it one step better than the Linux implementation I was 
working with last year...

I think that I'd reverse the default on that. There should normally be no harm 
in having an LLA address, as long as we've got the non-LLA preference stuff 
working correctly. It is quite likely that the LLA address would never actually 
be used; but so what?
