RE: [Mip6] [Updated] DHCP Option for Home Information Discovery inMIPv6

Vijay,

As far as I remember you were the only one who didn't give up on pushing for
integration. It'd only be a circular discussion if I had repeated the
reasons for not bundling a bunch of protocol extensions in a single
document. 

But I hope this data point helps: WiMAX Forum NWG architecture is using
draft-jang.
