For the R1bis message, it would result in a reduction of security, since anyone knowing the context tag value could tear down a context even if he is not located along the path. this could be enough, though
So, the question is general for all the spec, should we support control messages from unknown locators? 

This makes me very nervous that we'd be opening a fairly big security
hole that would be quite painful to close.
