Since we have not been able to fully pursue it as a requirement in nvo3, we 
have created a separate requirement document 
(http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-fang-l3vpn-end-system-requirements-00) in 
l3vpn WG where it is stated as a requirement:

  "A network virtualization solution should allow a VM or application end-point 
to directly access multiple VPNs without a need to traverse a gateway. It is 
often the case that SP infrastructure services are provided to multiple 
tenants, for example voice-over-IP gateway services or video-conferencing 
services for branch offices. A network virtualization solution should support 
both, isolated VPNs and overlapping VPNs (often referred to as "extranets"), as 
well as both, any-to-any and hub-and-spoke topologies."
