Assuming that Ecuador don't have a helipad in the embassy, or a tunnel that leads into international waters, why bother storming it when one day he'll have to leave to, like, get to Ecuador? I'm fairly certain that even if the ambassador is in the car, giving him diplomatic privilege, the car can be stopped. And Ecuador can't give Assange DP to prevent him being arrested at that point, as it has to be approved on an individual basis by the host state,
They were discussing this on R4 last night*, running through possible scenarios. They could stop the car, then jsut wait. Or hang about outside. And wait. or knock on teh door and say "hello, we're here for him".
*The person being interviewed said something about there being more outlandish scenarios, and the presenter was "Oh, do go on.."
