Balash and I will be submitting a draft on default router preferences. Two
of the key challenges have already been noted: what kind of metric should be
used and how are the values determined? What happens to the conceptual host
model? I think we have good answers :-). But I'd prefer to avoid a big
discussion until we actually have the draft finished, since the deadline is
looming.
