In here, I have a question !
What's meaning of globally routable addresses ?
I think globally routable addresses should include topologically correct
address and topologically incorrect address.
The reason I address this is that the NEMO basic support should configure
topologically incorrect address in nested NEMO.
But topologically incorrect address is also globally routable addresses if
it a packet forwarding mechanism (e.g., tunneling) is supported, not packet
routing(e.g. OLSR, DYMO, etc.).

What's meaning of practical addressing model ?
*Although we already discussed this issue in MANEMO BoF,* *we should *consider
practical scenarios for practical addressing model in real world I think.
The only simplest scenario *can not* satisfy requirements and other aspects
in more complex scenario which include Internet connectivity, nested
pattern, group mobility, wireless coverage, and so on.

I would like suggest to define some requirements for practical scenarios.
Then, the simplest scenario also can be considered as a base  topic of them
I think.
