Obviously having wireless mesh nodes route IP would be much too simple.

That statement is not obvious to me, except in standards committee
turf war terms.  My intuition does suggest that none of RIP, IGRP,
EGP, BGP, HELO, or any other IP routing protocol would work well for
what they're trying to do.

Errr... what about AODV???

As I said before, MANET is chartered for MOBILE applications and not fixed ad-hoc mesh as is the case with 802.16 with the new IEEE activities. Correct me if I'm wrong, the IETF doesn't have any activities looking at the fixed mesh case.
