Les,

We would welcome that.  

Does your algorithm have any relationship to

<https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-allan-lsr-flooding-algorithm-00?>

Not at this time.  As we said during our presentation, we found debugging this 
already ‘challenging’ and morphing it to be distributed and deterministic in 
distributed mode doesn’t pass our sense of a beneficial cost/benefit ratio.

We have no objections if others want to take this on.  Centralized mode Just 
Works.

Interoperability might also prove useful. :-)
