No. The kicker is that the applications needs no such smarts and

Not directly aimed at William: As others have said before (and I
finally listened) PLEASE take this discussion to the shim6 list.
However, I'm still at a loss as to how the shim on the end node is
going to know about the operational policy, cost implications and
site level load balancing requirements to do this _correctly_.
I'm also undecided about how I feel about the extra packets caused by
the (I forget the official term) discovery packets for shim6 for an
end site with say a hundred machines each with thousands of short
lived TCP sessions.
