I agree.

At this moment, I don't find any applications like that.
However, in the future, I think we will have such applications.
Let me give two examples.
1) A user is videoconferencing the mobile 
  terminal. Then the user transfer the videoconference
  to a videoconference system connected to a fixed network.
2) A user is playing a network game on mobile a terminal.
  The the user transfer the game to the game terminal like
  PlayStation.

My definition of session mobility may be different from 
one described in the I-D.

I'm not sure.
But it seems it's out of IETF's scope.
