I've thought about it some more this morning, and I've changed my mind:
I think it's actually not a bad idea, and if done right it might even work.

Ok.  What I'm still not clear about is whether you intend the LLN prefix
to be announced by just one homent router, or by all of the homenet
neighbours of the LLN edge router.  If the former, you get non-optimal
routing and brittleness.  If the latter, I can see some opportunities for
transient routing loops if not done carefully.  (And you certainly don't
want a routing loop on a link with low-power nodes.)

The other issue is how the edge router picks its next hop for its default
route.  I don't think that you'd want to reflect the routing protocol's
metric in HNCP, but you certainly need some way to avoid picking a badly
connected nexthop.  I see no easy solution here.
