Hi Stig,

Unfortunately that is not accurate. I should have corrected that at the
meeting.

The current I-D has the provision to deliver home agent info that
pertains to the currently visited network, or a remote network. The MNId
is used to convey the domain the information should pertain to. My MN
should be able to say "get me a home agent from the access network I'm
visiting", or "give me a home agent from anotherdomain.com".
