 yes you're right. 
 
  On the other hand, what makes me think that 2 documents could be
  better are the following arguments:

  - FMIP6 is from the mipshop WG whereas MIP6 is from the mip6 WG. 
  - FMIP6 probably requires a new Diameter Application whereas MIP6
    bootstrapping requires only AVPs.
