That is not necessary as each non-batman host is connected to a batman host 
which has a metric. Therefore the implementation just needs to support the HNA 
metric. The batman daemon does so since quite a long time. It is on the 
feature list for batman-adv 0.3 but does not require any protocol changes 
unless I miss your point.

I can't follow you here. The length of the protocol identifier (IPv4 
address/IPv6 address/mac address/random number) is not relevant for the 
routing protocol.
