I would have thought BGP is a little cumbersome to use in a Mesh 
environment. OLSR ( http://www.olsr.org ) is probably a better and easier 
choice if you are meshing up.

I don't remember it quite like that, haven't gone back through the email 
archive but I thought the general concensus was if you want to make a tunnel 
then go for it. A lot of bla bla about wireless links would be better if you 
could  but as you say, If you have a remote node that can't connect any 
other way why would you no make a tunnel. In the end you are extending the 
coverage of the network so that should be a good thing.

I think the bigger problem is identifying someone who is prepared to be the 
other end of your tunnel.
