At present, it is unclear that "multilink subnet" work is going
forward in the IETF. It is NOT being worked on my any current WG,
though it is being discussed a bit again within the zerouter context
(which is not a WG yet). Thus, I'm not sure how productive it is to be
desinging around a moving target of unknown properties...

Can you give an example  of some of those changes, and why they would
need to be taken into account?
