It sounds like the main example use case is a mobile ad-hoc network,
e.g., of vehicles traveling on a highway at different speeds and with
no ability to pre-define a mesh or to pre-determine routes within that
network to connected resources.

Has anyone proposed concretely building such a thing with a particular
application in mind?

I'm trying to figure out whether this is WG or RG territory.
