The draft defines three different ways to advertise gate over the mesh, leaving the implementers choice of which one(s) to implement. We chose the one that was best suited for the most common usage scenario. I would not call that a limited implementation but rather "an efficient implementation of a bloated spec" :) > Hmm.

If the external interface goes down, one would want to stop gate announcements immediately without bringing down the mesh interface.
