FYI. Bob tells me that the multi-homed host draft was adopted. Pursuant to that, I have reposted draft-baker-6man-multi-homed-host-03 as draft-ietf-6man-multi-homed-host-00, and then updated it as draft-ietf-6man-multi-homed-host-01. The -01 version has text to address questions raised during the adoption call.
