I assume that the "only" above implies that if you have both PUPI and PA
addresses you wish to select the PA address?  If so, this defeats the goal
of quasi-automatic connection stability in the face of changing PA addresses.
It would require setting up separate DNS entries with only PUPI addresses in
order to force a stable connection.

As long as this default can be changed without the cooperation on the
applications (i.e., a global option for the stack) it would be ok...
