I definitely believe that we need a solution for multi-homed sites. I just want to make sure that whatever tax we create is only paid by those who benefit from multi-homing, i.e. multi-homed hosts and their correspondents. Moreover, I submit that the tax should only be paid py those applications that actually benefit from TCP resiliency, i.e. those whose "mean connection time" is not small compared to the "mean time between rehoming events". Even so, applications that have their own identification and reconnection mechanisms should not have to pay the identifier tax.
