That's right. But such support is hard (as we have found
out in shim6... which only supports this partially). Perhaps
more importantly, MOBIKE had a discussion about the unidirectional
paths some months ago and made a decision in the WG that
we're not doing it. Reasons behind this included toughness
of supporting it with NAT traversal, among others. I'd rather
not re-open that discussion unless we find a serious problem.
We are already aware that we can't support some scenarios due to
this - that's fine.
