Personal comments:

I believe this is also ready to hand over to the future WG.

Just a couple of remarks.

1. You don't discuss the DNS at all - it clearly isn't a requirement
for the HBA mechanism itself to have any DNS entries, but surely
in reality at least one of the addresses will have to go into DNS?


i guess so, but i don't see any HBA specific issues w.r.t. to DNS, i guess that they are just like any other global address.
Do you think i should state it explicitly in the draft?

2. A related point - in the discussion in 7.1 of MITM attacks, the
attack you describe only makes sense if the other end has no independent
check of *any* of the addresses in the address set. If even one of
them is (for example) in a trusted AAAA record, a MITM is excluded,
I think.


good point, i will include this in the next version
regards, marcelo
