Hello folks,

Although I've made the requested changes, I am still
curious about how the mobile node could use this
feature to initialize its home address while away
from its home network.  I reckon it "should" be possible
to do this, but the new language prevents it unless
the mobile node has a way to refer to a security
assocation which is useful for the purpose.  That would
necessarily mean that the mobile node uses something
besides its home network to identify itself so that
the home agent could pick out the right security
association.  Maybe it is something like the NAI,
as currently specified for Mobile IPv4.

Regards,
Charlie P.
