RFC6731 is only applicable in a very restricted set of use cases, and cannot be counted upon to resolve this issue in the majority of use cases.   I would expect it to be helpful in the case of some enterprise situations (but not with BYOD) and with some mobile handsets (but only for the mobile provider's private domains).   So we simply can't use this to address the problem.
