  | Clarify this line please: " When the interface does have a working routable
  | address, v4LL is not used."
  | 
  | Does "not used" mean effectively "turned off", as in there is no v4LL
  | address whatsoever, or does "not used" mean, "Not using a separate
  | 169.254/16 address, and just using the working routable address"?

What distinction are you trying to get at there?   I can't understand
that at all.   If there is no 169.254/16 address, there is no v4LL 
address, surely???

  | If it means the former, I'd say that's bad. If it means the latter, I'd say
  | that's good. In that case, I'd also suggest changing that line to read:
  | 
  | " When the interface does have a working routable address, a separate v4LL
  | address is not configured, and the working routable address is mapped over
  | as the v4LL address."

That is totally incomprehensible to me, what does "mapped over as" mean ?
