Absolutely, indeed if we're deprecating site locals, and its associated
/10 prefix, we should probably be able to get /32 size globally unique 
prefixes that can be used in otherwise disconnected networks?  (e.g. a large 
sensor network used by a utility provider)   This seems a natural
consequence of such a deprecation.
