Thanks for the comments. Jari has already replied, but I thought I'd add my 2 cents. Given your last sentence, I think we could do a rather simple rewrite of the paragraph would be in order. However, because handling of binding updates is still unclear in the MIP WG (as is the status of MIPv6), we may have to create a default treatment for this. As you know, we're trying to get this draft completely rather quickly because of 3GPP deadlines. Additionally, I would imagine that IPv6 enabled phones will start being released in 2002. What that means is, we need to specify a (minimum) default treatment for handling the Home Agent Option & Binding Updates. This treatment might be sub-optimal, but it would allow for a cellular host to at least behave gracefully. Comments?
