Yes, this is good action point.
I believe the same applies to HA and CGN, right?

We need to discuss the changes required on this more.

Yes, that seems to be DS-Lite requirement. Which holds true in DS-Lite domain 
and not necessarily in any other domain.

>>[YL] You mean domain hand-off?

Yes, if MN does inter-domain handoff then it gets a different IPv4 CoA. That is 
the reason why MN needs an IPv4 HoA.

I don't know if I need to add any text about this issue to the draft?

Ooh, I see, you are talking about 
http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ymbk-aplusp-04
So use A+P together with DS-Lite?
