I agree, and while it would be fine to work the protocol specifics in the research group (since the proposed WG charter doesn't include this for now), I think that the basic question above should be covered in RFC4423bis.  I would support the latter interpretation (that HIP is (potentially) a protocol family built around the concept of a namespace for IP stacks).
