I'm looking for some clarifications on this draft.

* The UDP source port for a registration request is specified as variable.
Is there a
restriction against using port 434 as the source port as well.

* The draft does not discuss any DoS attacks. Clearly a mis-behaving MN can
cause
indefinite registration related processing on the FA and HA. It would be
nice if the
FA considerations section could specify mechanisms (if any) to detect this
and not blindly
relay registration requests to the HA
