+1 - well said. If it weren't actually a serious issue, I would find the constant bickering in homenet re. routing protocol quite comical. I come from the other end of the spectrum (LLNs) and was put off a while ago with the general disdain for catering for anything "the light switch guys" (as we were called, I believe) would like to have in a homenet, As a result, we ended up as a "stub network".
I don't have a horse in the race but I have to agree with the general sentiment that it makes sense to pick a single routing protocol which was actually designed to cater for all types of links. Shoehorning this capability into an existing protocol may be possible but I completely agree with what Ted says - this now becomes effectively a new routing protocol and a research project.
