Step 5.5 is half a solution. Smarter hosts would make usage of more information, e.g. prefer a better path. BRDP makes such information available (again, no code yet). This is the superseded rule 8: when host knows better, it makes more sensible decisions. RFC 6724 page 13: For example, if the implementation somehow knows which source address will result in the "best" communications performance. Remark on ICMP Redirect: when router forwards a packet back to a better first-hop, based on routing on source address, it MUST NOT send a redirect. If it would, it could influence first-hop for other source prefixes. That gets messy.
