Something like this is currently done with Babel, but it's not a complete 
solution because it requires Babel-specific modifications on the client.   The 
proposal to have a single bridged WiFi broadcast domain would eliminate this 
problem, at the cost of some substantial pain in terms of how to set that up 
automatically and in terms of performance, which clearly would suffer from the 
expanded broadcast domain.   And there's also the problem of differentiating 
backbone wifi links from wifi leaf networks.
