Just curious, why is that evil?  It seems if the usermode MLME is 
interested in what are basically Out Of Band 1Mbps management packets 
that share the same air as the payload packets and so appear on Monitor 
mode interfaces, then a local OOB class of packet doesn't break such new 
ground.  And it does neatly fit the communication semantic already used.
