Nick, I think optimistic DAD is a very useful (and essential) tool for mobile nodes in multiaccess links (e.g. WLANs) since it eliminates a major delay component. So I'd support this draft for a std track RFC.
I'm also surprised that this work is not addressed in DNA as I thought it'd be in the heart of the DNA charter. But regardless, it needs to be done if we want MIPv6 to be useful in WLANs.
