Thanks Gert, I would be happy to a feature like that. Trac ticket is
http://community.openvpn.net/openvpn/ticket/682

I trust the remote VPN endpoint by sending pakets which are designated
to go there. I do *not* trust the remote to set up my ip addresses and
networks. Imagine if the remote site manages to re-route my local DMZ
network to the remote side, which forces my local clients to connect
to some 'evil' remote service (ok ok, the firewall has to allow this
as well, but I've seen many many improper setups). Therefore I think
it's not a very "special-case request' :)
