John,
The primary issue is whether the ND spec itself should benefit.
The behavior of DAD failure is an example. RFC 2461 currently has a built-in DoS
hole in that it specifies the host should shut down the interface if there is a
DAD failure. This is a perfect opportunity for propagating a successful DoS
attack, and is not restricted to MIP.
By burying the solution for this into the MIP spec, it removes the possibility
that wider IPv6 nodes can benefit.
However, there are other proposed ND optimizations that are purely mobile
specific. Some of these are in the MIP spec, some aren't. I think it makes some
sense to group these into a seperate spec in the MIP group.
