RE: CGA-based HoA generation for MIP6 (was RE: [Mipshop] Review of draft-arkko-mipshop-cga-cba-04)

hello,

auto-configured home addresses are addressed in section 
5.3.2 of draft-ietf-mip6-bootstrapping-split-02.txt.

in the current specs, the home agent does not care whether
the home address was generated using CGA, stateless address
auto-configuration or RFC 3041.
