Well, I think a default route or a route of 5f00::/8 is perfectly
valid from a backbone router to a leaf node  (or whatever the
final terminology is).  I think it should be considered illegal
for a leaf node to advertise a default (or 5f00::/8) back to the
backbone.

maybe i'm just stating the obvious, but I thought I'd put it out there.
