I don't think I understand what this is an alternative to.
I.e. what would the way to do it wrong be?  Why are you suddendly talking
about storing-mode DAO messages.

This seems to imply that traffic could flow across the mesh... i.e. hop
From branch to branch.   How would the DODAG root know that this was possible
using pure RPL?  I think that it couldn't without 6top or something.
