Possibe, and why not.  But I'm also thinking of being able to find and
configure home devices.  Imagine some home NAS box and (without mDNS
or LLMNR), I could enter the URL as printed some some sticker on the
box:

    http://[fe80::s0me:ff:fe00:mac%default]/

and the first thing the device could do is issue a redirect to the
address it SLAAC'd and thereafter I'm good to go.
