Folks, As you might know draft-ietf-ipv6-default-addr-select-09.txt passed IESG review and is with the RFC Editor. While reviewing the references we noticed that the reference to Mobile IPv6 is probably normative, because the address selection rules refer to home addresses and care-of addresses. To break this dependency, we plan to add the following subsection (this is the only change):
3.5. Mobility Addresses Some nodes may support mobility using the concepts of a home address and a care-of address (for example see [5]). Conceptually, a home address is an IP address assigned to a mobile node and used as the permanent address of the mobile node. A care-of address is an IP address associated with a mobile node while visiting a foreign link. When a mobile node is on its home link, it may have an address that is simultaneously a home address and a care-of address. For the purposes of this document, it is sufficient to know whether or not an address is designated a home address or care-of address. Whether or not an address should be designated a home address or care-of address is outside the scope of this document. Please speak up if you object to this change. I know some folks object to other aspects of draft-ietf-ipv6-default-addr-select-09 but for this discussion thread please restrict your comments to this specific change.
