Actually I don't like that whole approach (of embedding the address there).

Mind I don't have a better suggestion at the moment,  just a vague idea
which I need to think about a bit more.

I'd prefer some mechanism whereby a varient of the DCP-Request message
could be used to add another address to an existing connection.  This
would then give both multihoming support and mobility support (by sending
a DCP-Close once the new address has been added).

This would obviously require some way to identify the connection without
embedding the existing address pair.  Possibly a varient on the mobility
nonce that can encompass more info.
