      As discussed on this thread:
        http://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/net-dev/2008-August/000359.html

      Inet6Address should be re-examined as follows:

      1. The description of scoped address support should be updated to reference RFC 4007.

      2. The description of the number identifier should reference NetworkInterface#getIndex (and vice versa)

      3. Site-local addresses have been deprecated. Minimally, isSiteLocalAddress should mention this.
