=> My 2 cents on the preference values:
It's not only that there is only 3 values, but 
that these values may be used across different 
administrative domains (multihomed hosts). They
need to be consistently defined so 'good' in
ISP X domain is roughly the same as 'good'
in ISP Y's domain. How can we do that ?
Maybe some concrete definitions ?
