The whole story for IP (L3) is:

This isn't true for routers that route over links that are not
part of a subnet.

So far, "your" experience (you, the authors, the MANET community) keeps asserting that there's something magic about that environment that the Internet architecture and protocols haven't considered.

It's not magic.  That's the point.  And we don't say that the problems
have never been considered.  From earlier email:

     ...        We are simply trying to point out
that the effects do matter, and are worthy of consideration when
designing IP protocols.

Also from earlier email:


If you have a problem that isn't described above, it is you who need to describe it. The burden of proof is on you to explain what's new.

What's new is collecting together these important matters
into a document that can be helpful.  The lack of such a document
motivated the writing of the draft under discussion.  Our indication
that it was needed came from experience in other working groups.


Regards,
Charlie P.
