2 is what happens now.  1 is easier to "learn" for another node and IMHO will lead to 
better
routing.

Right, think of it this way if queries get answered in an average 10 HTL, there's only 
10% of
queries on the average node are being answered by the datastores.  90% are being 
routed, so it's
way more important that you know where to route.
