Umm.. isn't the middle one orthogonal to the other two?  There are 
likely some requirements for tunnel endpoint discovery in the middle 
one, yes, but that could not be merged in a solution.

(extremely personal view below)

More work towards the common solution is probably good, but personally 
I'm still quite a bit unconfortable with the fact that we have not 
analyzed the properties of different approaches -- in 
palet-v6ops-tun-auto-disc -- in a sufficient manner.  It seems 
premature to jump on to the solution space (especially with naptr 
approach which I'm personally most uncomfortable yet, at least).
