Yes, it is about the outer addresses.

Originally when I sent the e-mail I was thinking about movement
from an IPv4 address to an IPv6 address. But of course there's
a similar issue with multihoming, as discussed in RFC 3554.

As you Francis and Mohan pointed out, supporting multiple
outer and inner addresses is already in current specifications.
My expectation is that this should also work with MOBIKE, with
both movements and multihoming. I propose that we close this
issue until we find some evidence that we have a problem to
support this :-)
