If the intent is to support mobility in IPv6 networks as an integral
aspect of the protocol, I believe the HAO processing is a MUST. I
believe the Mobile IP WG is of this opinion. If the IESG and the IPv6
WGs disagree with this opinion when the Mobile IPv6 spec goes to IETF
last call we can deal with it. But for now I am in favor of keeping
the MUST for the HAO processing for all IPv6 nodes.

I am of the opinion that the scale of IPv6 deployment today is still
in its infancy and the impacts associated with mandating the HAO
processing on all IPv6 nodes is far less than maybe two years from
now.
