I agree, we should not ignore the message. However, as we're
basically finished with the MOBIKE base protocol, I don't 
think we should talk about "reopening issue 8", since that 
would be slightly misleading.

What we can talk about is specifying an extension to the MOBIKE 
base protocol that would provide the functionality Monami6 would 
want. Determining what exactly the extension should do to satisfy 
Monami6 needs will take time (especially since Monami6 itself will 
take some time to stabilize -- after all, the WG was started 
less than two months ago), so it will be a separate document.

Thus, this is not an "issue" for the MOBIKE base protocol document 
or the design document (which explains why the base protocol was 
done that way): it's a new work item for MOBIKE WG.

Currently, the issue tracker at www.vpnc.org is only used to track 
issues for the base protocol document. New work items should be 
tracked by changing the milestones in the charter instead.
