Hi Erik: I like very much your idea of a new registration message, that's cleaner than changing NS like I do in the BbR proposal.
OTOH, we do not seem to have the same model for the LoWPAN. In particular, your draft seems to assume that the host would want to reach numerous routers and register to them all. For instance, if you have an oil plant or a factory, it makes little sense for a sensor node to go all across the factory across numerous LoWPAN hops to register to a router that the node will never use. In my mind, the LoWPAN nodes form dynamic clusters around the nearest router and use it. Routers might share a faster, powered network that is called a backbone in ISA parlance, to discover and reach one another.
