No, it's not an unsolvable problem. The multi6 WG will in a few weeks 
have a architectural analysis draft published, going through the 
various proposals that have been made (and they are a lot). The 
discussion that is due to follow will need all input it can get. I do 
encourage people to subscribe to the mailinglist and join that 
discussion!

Best regards,
