Very true.

Not sure I could agree with that; I can think of a bunch of use-cases 
for LL. In particular, a nice property of LL is that you know the 
request definitely came from the same link, which could be useful in 
some proxying scenarios e.g. 2-level ORPS hierarchy.

But you're right that in general, using a global address makes more sense.
