I disagree

The HBA uses the format of CGA in order to provide simoultaneous 
support of SeND and CGA
We could prefectly define HBA with a different format, so that it is 
not extension of CGA (this would cause problems when using multi6 and 
send of course, which is bad)

But the point is that HBA are defined as a CGA extension just to allow 
Send and multi6 run together
