I've probably misunderstood how destination sampling works - is it the 
case, as in Oskar and Ian's paper, that every node along the path 
creates a shortcut to the destination with some small probability, or is 
it only the originator that does so?

I was thinking that destination sampling might be harmed if the request 
took a strange path, even if it ended up in the right place... but to be 
honest I don't understand it well enough to speculate so I'll shut up. :-)
