True in many cases... Perhaps to implement the trace with this

reasonable, since the use case I see for this trace is management,
where you'd want the response datagrams to go to a management station
which would follow up with SNMP or some such.
And we're back to out-of-band solutions to the problem.
I actually don't think this is reasonable - I think
it's based on too many assumptions that don't hold
in a sufficiently large number of cases, or it forces
an architecture that's not widely used. Either way,
I'm not comfortable with it.
