For the record, RFC 2133 has been obsoleted by RFC 3493, and RFC 2292 by RFC 3542. > So I assume the Index returned can be used as an Scope identifier when > creating a Inet6Address. Scoped addresses are described in RFC 4007. Site-local addresses have been deprecated (in RFC 3879). The documentation in the Inet6Address class should be updated accordingly. I don't know how relevant these docs are for real-world IPv6 operation.
