[as an individual]

This is small, but it's going to be a recurring papercut if this works 
gains traction: I'm having a really hard time reading a document talking 
about "HIP" that is in no way related to 
https://datatracker.ietf.org/wg/hip/about/ -- please consider renaming 
this protocol.

It would probably also be worthwhile explaining how the features of 
HELIUM are significantly different than RFC 1928. I see raw IP tunneling 
and WebSocket support as differentiators, but it's not clear that this 
requires restarting the protocol from ground zero rather than extending 
an existing extensible protocol.

Lest my suggestion above be perceived as tongue-in-cheek, I'm dead 
serious: RFC 1928 is used extensively by the Tor network, and there is a 
fair body of deployed code in modern use, at least in that context.
