This is particularly important since "zone" and "zone index" and
"zone_id" are used in a completely different sense in RFC 4007 and
other RFCs that depend on RFC 4007. In fact, it might be worth
a note that this is different from that.

I commented elsewhere that the ACP adjacency table needs to include
the interface index for link-local addresses**, and that is in fact
exactly what RFC 4007 calls the "zone index". So unless we make
this excessively clear, we can be certain that some readers will
get the two things mixed up.

** How you determine the interface index is o/s dependent, so
it's important to put this in the adjacency table, for maximum
portability of code.
