Just two points after a quick read:
In section 3 you refer to centrally assigned ULAs. They
are a *long* way behind locally assigned ULAs in the
publication process, and still quite speculative. Also,
why not discuss locally assigned ULAs? Since they have a
birthday-paradox type of risk of ambiguity, they could
be "interesting" if used in referrals, and will likely
never have reverse DNS entries. (But that's another WG's
problem.)
In section 4 you say

If we use HBAs, wouldn't that simply mean passing a CGA Parameter
Data Structure as the (opaque) referral object? But of course you
can only pass that to a peer that understands it... How do you
find out if the peer is multi6-capable?
