I agree :-)
"Multiple address per node" + a decent API so *users* can easily control
what they want applications to do ("web surfing via DSL, bittorrent on
the cable Internet") + proper source address failover would be bliss...
Especially "proper source address failover" would be much more robust
against remote failures than "BGP" - think "packets going out via ISP A,
and there being a blackhole [think broken MPLS tunnel] between ISP A and
ISP X, so packets disappear" - with BGP you basically need to fumble on
your route policies then. With "mmh, ISP A source does not work, let's try
ISP B source" things can be fixed from the application/client OS level.
Alas... nobody really interested IETF-side or OS/browser-side in working
on that. Much more important to waste energy with stuff like DoH...
