I am a bit skeptical that we don't have to deal with the case where an end-user 
buys a broken gateway and then plugs a homenet gateway into it.   The way we 
deal with it might be to recommend that the homegate, when it gets no 
delegation, set up a captive portal to notify the user of the problem, but to 
simply punt on it seems like a bad option.

BTW, an example of a router that might be a decent homenet router is the Almond 
router:

It has an LCD display, so informing the user that they have set up a broken 
network is pretty easy.   But we probably ought to have a document that walks 
homenet gateway implementors through the various issues and options, even if we 
don't propose a solution that makes it work.
