=> Well, the problem is how to allow flow-based mobility,
where the flow is a connection or more. To do this, 
there are 2 aspects to consider:
- How to decide which flow goes where (policy)
- How to manipulate a binding cache in the HA/CN to achieve
  this. 

Since we're talking about multiple CoAs, this does not
apply to an MNN (node behind the MR) until an RO
solution for NEMO comes up. It could certainly apply to an
MR with more than one interface, but I fail to see
why anything designed for a MN would not work
for the MR. 

Having said all that, there is no WG membership in IETF :)
So if the chairs decide to have a DT, which is not at all
clear, then it is likely that people with interest in
NEMO and MIP will be in it. ButI don't know if
a DT is needed anyway.
