Hi,

I think I mostly agree with Michael, but I think I would emphasise a
couple other things:

I think we're trying to make the homenet a proper part of the
Inter-net.  The Internet, of course, is a network of networks.  Part
of the idea there is that each network makes its own rules, which is
why we have to rely on voluntary interoperation.  Historically this
always depended on network administrators.  What I think we're trying
to do is to make network operation possible even when there is no
administrator.  Since there are lots of such basically
no-administration networks about, that doesn't seem crazy.

I think this is right, given the goal I think we're aiming for.
