You are right about the same LL on multiple interfaces, that’s why the 
`sin6_scope_id` is used. For specifying LL address, a scoped address format 
should be used to avoid ambiguity. In all other cases, determining the 
interface ID by address should be ok, while keeping the same functionality that 
`localaddr` param has with IPv6. Currently, I don't see any other way of 
specifying IPv6 multicast interface without the introduction of another query 
param like `iface` or something.

Let me know what you think.
