I'm not sure multiple default routes make sense. The default route is 
the one you use if no other route matches a destination. If you allow 
multiple "defaults", how do you pick which one to use for a given 
packet? You need a whole new mechanism to choose among default routes. 
Why not simply use host routes?

Disclaimer: I may be biased here, because I think implementing 
multi-homing at the transport layer (like SCTP tries to) is a bad idea 
in general. It's a network layer concept, reimplementing it at the 
transport layer gives you no new capabilities.
