Err, I'm a bit confused today... I cannot find anything in 2401bis
that would actually use the (outer) address in _inbound_ IPsec SAs 
for anything when processing unicast traffic. And if it's not used,
implementations don't even need to store it, and MOBIKE does not 
need to update it, right?

Or am I missing something in 2401bis that actually uses it?
