Yes, that's exactly the point! Section 2.5.6 is more restrictive than  
section 2.4. Leading to my question : is link-local fe80::/10 or only  
fe80::/64 ?

Please, reconsider the example :

- fe80:aaaa:aaaa:aaaa::1 IS link-local if I follow section 2.4.
- fe80:aaaa:aaaa:aaaa::1 IS NOT Link-local if I consider 2.5.6.
