Christian - I think address selection is part but not all of the
problem.

I would be happy to see a summary of current practice in dealing with
simultaneous attachment to multiple networks. How does an iPhone decide
between its WiFi and dell interfaces?  How does an RG that can reach
multiple next hop routers on its WAN interface select which router to
forward to?  How does a laptop choose between its WiFi and wired
interfaces?


Absolutely.  Nowadays, though, interface and next-hop selection, which
you mention, are tied to address selection.  This is why I summarized
everything under address selection.  Nevertheless, I agree that this
tying between interface, next-hop, and address selection is part of the
issue we should analyze and document.
