I have just submitted a new I-D [1] which certainly requires an
introduction (and disclaimer): it specifies a MIPv6 Route Optimization
procedure *dedicated* to environments where IPsec/IKE is used between
peers (MN-HA, MN-CN, MN-MN) for protecting both signaling and data
traffic.

Some of the improvements provided by this "IPsec Route Optimization"
mechanism (IRO) are also proposed for the IPsec communications between
the MN and its HA.

Among the features provided by IRO (introduction of the document as
a more accurate list):

  * Complete removal of RH2 and HAO (resulting in simplified packet
    handling on both sides and possibly better compatibility with
    filtering implemented in the network),

=> You can have complete removal of both options without introducing a new RO mode.
