Tastes much like a MANET network to me.

Right.  The problem is that what I've seen in the past is that
wireless-mesh proponents want to be able to do massive multihoming, with
all participants with external links sharing those links, and all the
traffic from the outside finding the shortest way in.  I won't say it's
impossible, but last I heard nobody knew how to do it; the route flap
would be horrible.
