Mobile IPv6
fails miserably, unfortunately.  MULTI6 should not make the situation
any worse,  and preferably should make it better.

I disagree that this is something that's relevant to multi6, as with site multihoming the relation between the different addresses is more or less permanent and therefore trying to hide it makes little sense.

As for mobility: is the header that contains the "real" address (I forget the lingo, sorry) encrypted by IPsec? I see no reason it wouldn't be. And if it is, this is a solved problem and people should just use IPsec.
