I've always thought that the mapping system will have to have capacity to deal 
with broken clients, random LIG bots, and DoS attacks (just like, say, DNS 
does).  This leads me to believe that over-engineering the management of 
sending map-requests on a given ITR will likely end up creating more 
complexity, and therefor fragility, in the implementation.
