Hello Teco,

I'm really short on time, but...

No.  The router that provides the address, if it
is running a MANET protocol on that interface, should
provide an address unique for the network.

I haven't thought about this, but presumably
'1'.  If that's the wrong answer, maybe we need
more text, but I can't work on it today.

This is a problem that can be considered separately,
and the draft does not bear on this issue.

Do you mean, non-router nodes?  Presumably they will
use a router node as a default router and send
packets to the default router.  If the default router
doesn't have a route (e.g., is not proactive), presumably
the default router will issue a Route Request and
get a route.  This seems straightforward.
