When I say “zones” I’m referring to site-local addresses specifically which were deprecated and replaced by ULAs because zones in anything other than link local addresses were declared stupid and hard to implement. That may be where the confusion is coming from. I’m sorry I didn’t use specific language. I understand what we commonly call the “interface scope” is technically a “zone id”.

mDNS working on link-local means you can advertise your service over mDNS so no user ever types this shit into their address bar in the first place.

I still maintain that the interface leaking into the address is a bad thing from a design perspective even though I very much appreciate that everything works naturally on v6 LL addresses after applying this one small fix… no user should ever by typing a v6 LL into a browser, and probably every use case you can imagine that isn’t managing network link topology or NDP/bootstrap or running LL name resolution can be solved with ULAs or DNS.
