seems like a *huge* stretch - several of the ideas for using SL have nothing to do with filtering. also, SL strikes me as an extremely poor mechanism for communicating filtering policy. in general an application must assume that there is a filtering policy may be in place regardless of whether or not it sees SL addresses. after all, filtering that can affect an application can exist anywhere in the network, and SL could at best provide a crude indication of filtering on the local network. the way you determine whether filtering is imposed is by trying to communicate and having that attempt fail due to an ICMP 'communication prohibited' message. so no, I don't think this flies at all.
