Petr Lampa - who opened the PR - explained me provately about the
embedded scope.
However I still think this collides with RFC3306 addresses.
The other point discussed with Petr Lampa is about the
ff02::2:xxxx:xxxx addresses.
However the addresses are different than defined in RFC4620, where
they have the format ff02::2:ffxx:xxxx.
