A stack of (some length) routing IDs at the start of message would work
well for this I think and would address the multihop problem.

This doesn't address the use of having messages that don't need to be
decoded at each hop - I'm using multipart for this now because the first
tier of routing handles one message on the stack and ignores
everything else - it decides what to do with the rest of the message
stack based on that and sends it on.

This could be handled by sticking a blob in the first tier's message,
but it means that needs to be deserialized to read it every time, which
has potential performance impacts if the blob can be large (of course,
the blob still needs to be pushed around even with multipart, but at
least it doesn't have to be actively worked on).

Sure.

Sounds good.
