I've placed this change in the RFC Editor notes:
Please change in Section 4.1:
OLD:
When provided with
more than one Home Network Information options having the different
id-types or multiple sub-options for the same id-type, the mobile
node is required to have a selection mechanism to determine which one
to use for establishing a Mobile IPv6 session. For example, if the
mobile node acquires both IPv6 address and FQDN of the home agent, it
may try to use the address information of the home agent first.
However, the selection mechanism is outside the scope of this
document.
NEW:
As described later in Section 4.3, servers attempt to place
multiple options and
in the order of preference. When provided with more than one Home
Network Information options having the different id-types or
multiple sub-options
for the same id-type, the mobile node SHOULD choose the first one
that it
can employ.

Authors? I think what Suresh says makes sense. But I'm not going to
require you to change this unless you actually want to.
