I disagree that this is something that's relevant to multi6, as with 
site multihoming the relation between the different addresses is more 
or less permanent and therefore trying to hide it makes little sense.

As for mobility: is the header that contains the "real" address (I 
forget the lingo, sorry) encrypted by IPsec? I see no reason it 
wouldn't be. And if it is, this is a solved problem and people should 
just use IPsec.
