reminds me of that saying: "... democracy is the worst form of government except all the others that have been tried." No-one's going to argue that multihoming by multiple prefix announcement isn't a pile of poo. It's just that all that all the alternatives are even worse. At least multihoming by multiple prefix announcement is simple and has well-understood problems and failure modes. All the alternatives are significantly more complicated in a variety of different ways, and all open up many more and many more complicated failure modes. Re: the draft, I don't think it should be adopted by the WG unless the authors can provide analysis showing that it doesn't fail in the two modes which were mentioned on the list in the last couple of days.
