Sites (and hosts) have > both. I had always planned on using only SL addresses within the enterprise, and then NATing those SLs to public addresses at the ISP. That way, none of the enterprise network is polluted with (frequently changing) global addresses -- just like common IPv4 practice today. To assign more than one address to every host means the host must have an intelligent means of deciding which address to use. I don't trust the hosts (either OS or the user) with that decision any more than I trust them with QOS.
