The working group would presumably like for there to be routing on the homenet. 
  What problems is the routing supposed to solve?   What things are priorities? 
  What things aren't priorities?

Clearly we need the routing solution to get packets to the right egress based 
on source address.   Do we also need it to do load sharing across parallel 
links, if such links exist?   Is it important to minimize the number of hops?   
How long of a delay can there be between changes to the topology (e.g., a 
router being unplugged) and recovery, assuming that a flow was going through 
that router?   Is it okay to break a flow in that situation, or does it need to 
survive the transition?   Does the routing protocol need to be aware of the 
type of media a given link crosses, and does it need to prefer one media type 
over another where both are available?

I'm basically making questions up here.   The document should say what the 
working group wants routing to accomplish.   Right now it's a bit of a kitchen 
sink, with a lot of (IMHO) inappropriately prescriptive text.
