I agree with your analysis, and recently I read an interesting interview

"mother of the Internet ;-) I'm not sure her work (I don't exactly 
recall the specifics) is applicable to our problem though.

Look at her effort ion rbridges, i think youll find theres a lot in
common.

Regarding the scalability, I think it rather depends on the number of 
hops how usable FLAME is. I don't think it would scale well to a campus 
or city wide network, but in the case of a few mobile nodes, it has very 
little overhead both in bandwidth and delay.

You should mention this limitation in the paper.   
BTW, something else: You ability to create loops of broadcast storms is
highly probable. Eventually you may have to go to L3 (TTL is of value
there) ;->
