with respect to the HBA draft, imho it would be better to separate the=20=

security mechanisms used form the protocol itself. I mean imho it is=20
not such a good idea to hardcode the security mechanism inside the=20
protocol. HBA is, at most, one of the possible security mechanisms for=20=

multi6 imho. there may and probably will be others. For instance it=20
makes sense to support a different security mechanism based in cgas=20
(only cga i mean) in order to support mobile environmets, Probably in=20
the future new security mechanisms can be defined.
So making a clear distinction between the core multi6 protocol and the=20=

security mechanism used is good imho

makes sense?
