Certainly, it's envisioned to be a small niche, which is why I am
not ready to push too hard on it.

I think the push against additional work was really about addresses
that look (more or less) the same requiring different handling, e.g., an
application would have to know that fec0::1 needed a zone ID but 2002::1
did not.  Since my proposal uses an explicitly different syntax, and
all addresses expressed using this syntax require the zone ID, I *think*
that argument doesn't apply.
