Hi Miika,
First of all, nice work with all of your changes! 
This is a big draft but seems much clearer without the RFC 5770 delta.

Here’s some further comments on your questions...

>   * What should do with compatibility with RFC 6078 (HICCUPS)

I think you can omit this, since RFC 6078 is for RFC 5201 (HIPv1). (Wait until if/when 6078 is updated for HIPv2.)

>    * Connectivity tests should be skipped unless ESP_TRANSFORM is
> negotiated?

Seems like a good idea. No ESP_TRANSFORM -> no need to establish two-way comms between peers.
For example, when performing a registration procedure with a relay server.

>   * Steps 5-6 could be skipped in the handoff sequence? See fig. 6.

If steps 5-6 are skipped, then we would have no SEQ in step 3?
And the subsequent connectivity checks would suffice for these steps?

Below are a few editorial nits...
