Great: I modified section 6.1 to include this indication as follows:

"

   The 6LN replies to the challenge with an NS(EARO) that includes a new
   Nonce option (shown as NonceLN in Figure 5), the CIPO (Section 4.3),
   and the NDPSO containing the signature.  Both Nonces are included in
   the signed material.  This provides a "contributory behavior", so
   that either party that knows it generates a good quality Nonce knows
   that the protocol will be secure.  The information associated to a
   Crypto-ID stored by the 6LR on the first NS exchange where it
   appears.  The 6LR MUST store the CIPO parameters associated with the
   Crypto-ID so it can be used for more than one address.
"

Many thanks!
