If definition of MIF host presents similarities with multihomed nodes [ietf-monami6-multihoming-motivation-scenario], it is not required for the host to support additional IP mobility or multihoming protocols, such as SHIM6, SCTP, Mobile IP, HIP, RRG, LISP or else.  Moreover, the peer of the connection is also not required to use these mechanisms.

IMHO MIF scope is not just mobile, so it's better to adopt and
generalize the text for MIF.
