 In your previous mail you wrote:

   discussions during the ietf meeting (see issue tracker web page) concluded
   that it is a policy issue when to perform the return routability checks.
   this conclusion seems to be fine with me. i will try to produce a new text
   proposal. 
   
=> this is my position but there is an exception: the update is to
an authorized* address but from an unknown address. A RR check should
be performed in this case, not because of a security issue, but because
the node can have just moved behind a NAT (the RR check for the authorized
address fails, the RR check for the unknown (in fact NATed) address succeeds).

*I use the term "authorized" in order to keep the policy decision to
the peer, i.e., the RR check can be a part of the authorization procedure.
