ohta-san,
	i believe you are actually proposing 2 additions to the charter:

	1) any multihoming solutions must maintain "end to end
		transparency" (something in desperate need of clear
		definition).
	2) protocol changes (presumably to IPv6 and transport protocols)
		are within scope.

	i spoke briefly with thomas narten last night about #2, and
while i lean towards believing some protocol changes could make our lives
a lot easier, such an approach doesn't seem terribly feasible.  worth a
shot, perhaps, but i don't hold out much hope.  development of additional
protocols might be a more likely route.
