The processing has changed in the sense that there is a new
verification step. Basically, we don't accept unverified HAOs,
either an SA or RR BCE must exist before they can be used.
This limits in a sense the use of the HAO in a completely free
way, as it used to be. (The most efficient routing case, RO,
is of course still supported and that's what we hope will be
used in most cases.)

(Back in the old versions of the draft, HAO needed to be a MUST
because otherwise interoperability would have failed.)
