Thank you, yes.  This is the right place to start from, in order to make sure
that we are all trying to achieve the right (or same) goal.


mb> This was the design goal for mobileip and many folks have mentioned this
mb> goal on the list, but is there consensus about this?

I suspect that we do have consensus with the statement.  I suspect the
differences in opinion are about what the security of the current IPv4
Internet is.

Most of the features that I have questioned look like they are a good idea.
However they appear to be a) redundant with existing solutions elsewhere in
the stack, and/or b) beyond "the security of the current IPv4 Internet".
