Yep. it's ongoing!  No-one seems to have come up with a 
killer (eg: something which doesn't fix itself with NUD) yet,
but the more eyes the merrier.

I'm working on version -01 which will fix some editorial points
and change some SHOULDs into MAYs and so on to better reflect
the feedback I've been getting ... and there's a Linux implementation
on the way for test purposes.

I'm not sure Optimistic DAD is the solution, or even part of
the solution ... it's more an attempt to make some forward
progress on the fast, smooth handovers front.  If it 
provides useful points of comparison for the 'official'
FMIP effort, it's done its job.
