I understand the process, but according to the RFC LOOPBACK (127) and
LINK LOCAL (169.254) are separate ranges. If you are asked to block
loopback there is no reason to include link local.

Try configure your windows XP request DHCP without any DHCP server
around, you will get 169.254.x.x ip address when you type "ipconfig"
from the command prompt.
It kinda like a automatically thing when DHCP doesn't work out in XP.
