Please describe exactly how my laptop (which doesn't run HNCP) finds out
the right domain.  Please describe how an HNCP router that joins an
existing Homenet finds out the right domain.  Please describe what happens
when two equally-sized Homenets merge.

Michael, trust me -- this is not something that we want to implement.
