I wasn't able to attend your presentation in APPAREA, (but, did it at 
other IETF's and the NBS BoF this time around).  Can you elaborate a bit 
more on "want a solution to the path selection problem"?  Specifically, 
are the APPAREA folks aware of or concerned about source & destination 
address selection in IPv6 as per RFC 3484, or 
draft-ietf-6man-rfc3484-revise-01?  Or, something (much) more complicated?

Thanks,
