My gripe here is the location: IMO, it must be noted in the *main
sections* of the draft how home addresses are supposed to be used (e.g. it
substitutes the source address in some implementation-dependent way for
example X.x, maintaining connections even though the source address would
change). This is taken as granted, like everybody would already know what
Home Address is supposed to achieve.  Security Considerations seems like a
completely wrong place to specify the behaviour.
