   Yes, certainly a node is likely to know better its own conditions
   than the other node. But I don't quite understand the last point: 
   in 2401bis, inbound IPsec SAs don't seem to have the local (tunnel 
   header) address at all? (unless they're multicast, but that's beyond 
   IKEv2)
   
=> tunnel inbound IPsec SAs have a local (destination) end-point address.
What I mean is the only way to fix this address is to send a message
to the other end saying what address to use. BTW this is the central
point of MOBIKE.
