If WLAN works differently from a cellular interface then it
needs separate consideration (maybe another draft). So this draft wouldn't
apply to interfaces for which cellular requirements are not meaningful.
But I'm not sure that defining multiple technology hosts is the most
urgent bit of the work. I'd be mostly interested in seeing a document
which describes what needs to be implemented in the very short run i.e.
basic 3gpp v6 hosts. So it makes sense to me that the document concentrate
on these and then get updated later if/when new requirements appear.
3gpp has an urgent need and wants to deploy IPv6 so it's a good idea
to provide guidance to implementors through the cellular hosts draft.

Regarding Mobile IPv6, were you proposing that Mobile IP not be considered
in the cellular hosts document if we are only describing requirements for
basic cellular hosts and no multiple-technology devices?
