I've been watching this thread with interest.  Unfortunately it seems  
that you still don't get that shim6 is not THE scalable solution to  
multihoming.  Its a solution to some (edge) cases of multihoming.  PI  
multihoming gives operators everything they have in IPv4.  shim6  
gives 2 providers, and misses so many other things.

Please stop calling it "the scalable mechanism to multihoming" unless  
you add "basement" as the penultimate word.
