would be a technically viable multi-homing strategy.
That protocol already exists and is installed on almost every personal
computer in the world... but there's alas there's still a lot of TCP out
there.
By the way, the problems you listed are some, but not all, of the
reasons why it isn't really a viable multi-homing strategy... but yours
also include some of the reasons why having ULA + globally-routed space
both active would be a problem for many applications.
