[manet] DYMO routing information's usefulness

Hi,

You'll probably show me that I am wrong, but it seems that there is a
mistake in DYMO specs, sections 5.2.1.3 and 5.2.1.4.

In the text of 5.2.1.3, the information is supposed to be inferior if
Node.HopCnt >= Route.HopCnt (for a non-broken route during a RREQ),
but according to the pseudo-code test, it is when Node.HopCnt >
Route.HopCnt.

The completeness test in 5.2.1.4 agrees with the test of 5.2.1.3, and
thus disagrees with the text. But I would have thought that equivalent
information must be discarded during a RREQ because even if it
loop-free, the information will be forwarded twice by each node on the
rest of the path toward the target node. This seems to be confirmed on
a small example. Did I miss something ?

Thanks for your clarifications,
Romain
