Thought.

Does it make any sense to offer addresses in the INIT_ACK that don't
have routes to those proposed in the received INIT?

'routes' probably isn't exactly the right word.
You probably only want the local address that will be used
as the source address for the probes.
Or, at least, sources addresses that could be used for the probes.

So if the INIT only contains IPv6 addresses should the INIT_ACK
ever contain IPv4 ones.
