Mentioning that this won't work for multihomed hosts and routers and
pointing
to the section discussing this would be useful.

Proposed Change:

Change text from:

   In many network stacks, achieving this functionality may be as simple
   as adding a routing table entry indicating that 169.254/16 is
   directly reachable on the local link.

To:

   In many network stacks, achieving this functionality may be as simple
   as adding a routing table entry indicating that 169.254/16 is
   directly reachable on the local link.  This approach will not work
for
   routers or multihomed hosts.  Refer to section 3 for more discussion
   of multihomed hosts.
