=> Yes but only if the attacker is still on the 
CN-HA path. 
I didn't think any proposals were suggesting BSA

wrong (it has happened :))

Anyway, it is good yto document this assumption as Pekka
suggested in his text.

=> I think, more importantly, rules about when a BSA
can be established will provide the answers. That
is, is the chosen method secure enough to result
in a BSA between the MN (which maybe an ttacker!) and CN ?
