=> I took out the RFC text to make the mail shorter. 
When I made that comment I meant to distinguish IPv6
nodes from MNs based on whether they implement MIPv6
MN functions or not. So when I said "stationary" I meant
IPv6 nodes that do not implement MN functions as described
in MIPv6. For those MNs, we do not yet have a mechanisms
to allow for RFC3041 type home addresses. So there would be
no point in having them for the CoA since the HoA is always
visible for traffic analysis. 

According to my definition of stationary above, the RFC text
is correct of course.
