I think that separating filter rules as much as possible from mobility
management protocols (mmp) is good because:

* integrating a new mmp to the framework is easier because the impact on
the mmp is kept minimal
* changes in filter rules do not always necessitate additional mmp
signaling, signaling of course but not mmp signaling
* filter rules can be distributed to nodes (or received from nodes) that
would not normally receive mmp signals from the terminal (or would not
send mmp signals to the terminal)

I fully acknowledge that these present just my personal opinions because
one of the tricky aspects in this whole vs. discussion is that I think
it is possible get both approaches to work.
