There are very good reasons why SLA were deprecated, I don’t see a reason to change that.  ULAs are intended to replace the use of SLAs.

That is interesting, but I don’t see any references to that in the omni draft, or any mention at all of ipwave.   Nor does the ipwave document reference your omni draft.

That is far from clear to me.   To me you have a solution, that changes a lot of things in IPv6, and you are claiming it solves all IP mobility problems.   Please excuse my skepticism, I can’t even tell if it solves the aircraft domain.
