Hello Erik,

I have a minor comment on your note, without taking away from
its main thrust.

It should be possible for a mobile node to use a site-local prefix as long
as it only ever roams within the site.  This seems to go along with the
proposal that site-local prefixes should only be used in domains that are
disconnected from the Internet.  If a mobile node has a global home address,
it should use that global address all the time, I reckon.  Otherwise, if it
only has a site-local address, then by definition it is only addressable at
that site.  Users of such equipment should be made aware of that limitation.

Charlie P.
