People do highly dubious stuff all the time; they have unprotected sex, 
they jump out of perfectly good airplanes, they vote for Obama, they try 
for a single-handed Atlantic crossing in a 6 meter sailboat with no 
preparation, they try to implement RAI specifications from the RFC 
without parallel testing against existing systems, and so on.

The question is: Should we take the human urge to engage in highly 
dubious practies like traffic steering into account when we write an 
identity spec? If so, at what level of  dubiousness (or dubyaness, for 
the left-leaning) do we draw the line?
