3.0 All Scope Multicast Addresses

   These permanently assigned multicast addresses are valid over all
   scope ranges.  This is shown by an "X" in the scope field of the
   address that means any legal scope value.

   Note that, as defined in [ADDARCH], IPv6 multicast addresses which
   are only different in scope represent different groups.  Nodes must
   join each group individually.

   The IPv6 multicast addresses with variable scope are as follows:
