Looks rather good .. even though we may not agree on the AAA issues, this 
seems to bring them up rather nicely :-).

About section 2 on Correspondent Nodes; could you elaborate in the 
document why exactly solution is too drastic?  Note that BCE check is not 
the only way to ensure legitimity of HAO: if it's secured by AH, it's ok;  
if some SUCV/.. weak authentication method is used, it's probably also ok; 
the same might even apply to return routability.  It's too early to crush 
CN solutions.

(I think the solution for HAO should most likely consist of two separate, 
"strong-enough" layers, one mandated at CN, one possible at firewalls, but 
that's not the topic of this draft).

Note: it seems every site, even if it had only a few MN's, will have to
have AAA infrastructure, so that it could interact, certify etc. home
address use for remote AAA systems when MN goes roaming and there's a need
to punch a hole in ingress filtering of remote sites.

(If this is the approach for security, it should be required in the main
MIPv6 draft).

Or have I missed something?  This seems unnecessary in many environments,
e.g. university campus area WLAN or company's internal network.
