  o a routing system which has the ability to scale really
    well in the presence of fewer and fewer nodes (think
    sites) where out-degree == 1
sure... maybe. is there the presumption of e2e here?

i think so, for various valies of e2e

  o mobility
process mobility?  latency tolerent?  any distinction
btwn individual nodes or whole networks?  need clarity here.

i think the user is gonna expect application binding mobility

  o really scalable v4 backward compatibility so that we
    don't have the end-user-affecting mess which looms in a
    few years
well... not so sure about this one.  why do we care?

becuse isps have these folk called users who pay us money to
see that they get the full internet (and let's not go down
the silly rat hole of cogent vs level(3), thank you).
