draft-ietf-ipngwg-ipv6-2260 does not add more confusion, but protects
you from unreachability of certain prefix in multiple-prefix-assigned-
to-site style of multihoming. without draft-ietf-ipngwg-ipv6-2260,
source address selection problem is a critical task since if you
pick P::a (from P::a and Q::b) while P::/48 is unreachable, you are
dead. with draft-ietf-ipngwg-ipv6-2260, you can pick either P::a or
Q::b, regardless from the external link status (tunnels will always
ensure that P::/48 and Q::/48 are reachable, assuming that the upstream
ISP is reachable).
