In Section 3, added in the introduction a note about NEMO-enabled and
MIP6-enabled (part of this text was in the definition of NEMO-
enabled):
Removed Abbreviation "i-face" and "e-face"
Replaced "HA" with "home link located outside the mobile network" in
the definition of VMN
Replaced "address located within a MNP" with "address taken from a
MNP" [or derived is better ?] in the definitions of LFN and LMN
Replaced term NEMO-Link with Mobile Subnet
Figure 4 illustrates a VMN changing its point of attachment from
its home link located outside the mobile network to within a
mobile network. The figure also illustrates a LMN changing its
point of attachment within the mobile network.
In a typical use case of NEMO Basic Support [5], only the MR and
the HA are NEMO-enabled. LFNs are not MIPv6-enabled nor NEMO-
enabled. On the other hand, a VMN or a LMN acting as a mobile
router may be NEMO-enabled whereas a VMN or a LMN acting as a
mobile node may be MIPv6-enabled.
For NEMO Extended Support, details of the capabilities are not
known yet at the time of this writing, but NEMO-enabled nodes may
be expected to implement some sort of Route Optimization.
Removed this note from the definition of "root-MR": "note: this term
was referred to as Top-Level Mobile Router, or TLMR in short in

multihomed host and a multihomed mobile router
Removed "or multiple prefixes are advertised in the mobile network"
