In...

   "If the host has no appropriate
   routable source address, then it MUST ARP for the destination address
   and then send its packet, with a link-local source IP address and a
   routable destination IP address, directly to the destination on the
   same physical link."

s/MUST/SHOULD/

I don't think we can tell a node not to drop the packet. In addition,
ARPing for everything does not work with multihoming. There needs to be
an escape hatch to allow multihomed stacks to implement something
appropriate (see also kre's followup).
