You might have two machines that are connected via the public internet and also via a private network. The two sets of cabling being completely separate giving you resilience to network failure. In which case you definitely don't want address scoping. While you may not want the SCTP traffic on the public network itself, it could easily be routed separately. We have systems that 'sort of' designate one interface for SIP/RTP and the other for 'management'. They might run M3UA/SCTP but no one has really thought enough about which interface(s) the M3UA traffic should use. (Think of an ISUP/SIP gateway using M3UA for ISUP signalling.)
