Yes, that is clear (the algorithm must have only one destination), but the 
question arises how much this makes sense (as the destination address may 
already have been selected using some arbitrary source address for 
comparing against the destination address).

The extra steps may not harm of course (extra work..).  One possibly
interesting scenario could be when source or destination address selection
has been upgraded to honor this but the other isn't.
