The scenario of your draft is a completely different one: If I
understood correctly, you distribute traffic in an overlay. (construct a
mesh of tunnels between MAGs, inquire routes to MNs via an LMA-based
on-demand search and then select the proper tunnel for forwarding).

This is different from what we refer to by the term "direct (or
localized) routing".

We didn't talk about overlay solutions. We just addressed the
straight-forward deployment of dynamic unicast routing protocols like
iBGP or OSPF. So nothing was said about your draft.

Best regards,
