Re: mumti6dt drafts as WG drafts?

with respect to the HBA draft, imho it would be better to separate the security mechanisms used form the protocol itself. I mean imho it is not such a good idea to hardcode the security mechanism inside the protocol. HBA is, at most, one of the possible security mechanisms for multi6 imho. there may and probably will be others. For instance it makes sense to support a different security mechanism based in cgas (only cga i mean) in order to support mobile environmets, Probably in the future new security mechanisms can be defined.
So making a clear distinction between the core multi6 protocol and the security mechanism used is good imho

I agree with Marcelo. To put it in slightly different words, I believe HBA is modular enough to be defined on its own. For the shim and functional decomposition merging would be more appropriate.
