Also, the distinction between "on-link model" and "off-link model" is unlikely to be understood by practitioners, IMHO. As seen from the viewpoint of a router jockey - if I have a /127 and the two routers on this link are using the only two available addresses in the /127, it is obvious to me that the router at the other end of the link is indeed on a directly connected link.
