Re: mumti6dt drafts as WG drafts?

Marcelo,

I agree that merging HBA may not be a good idea. Perhaps, i should have
stayed away from examples :-) I did not realise earlier that the output of this
WG will be these 5 documents and some other group is going to figure out
producing a solution document.

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

makes sense?
