[Med] This is beyond discovery and is handled by the DOTS agent itself. See for example, https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc8782#section-4.3.

[Med] link-local addresses are acceptable. Think about an internal DOTS client in a LAN and a DOTS gateway in the CPE.  

Entities operating a DOTS server are supposed to be familiar with RFC6666 (discard). No specific behaviour is required at the client side. Packets sent to such address are likely to be blocked (if the client and the server are located in the distinct domains) or be subject to any policy at the DOTS server domain.

[Med] OK.
