Great!

Similar but it does not cover this case clearly since it talks about
"multiple prefixes".

And now some non-multiplecoa related note:

I think it is quite clear what I am up to with this thread. If there is
no disagreement that multiple addresses with the same prefix on a single
interface leads to a multihoming scenario then I think the definition
of node/host multihoming should be redefined/extended. For example,

"A multihomed node is a network node that has multiple global IP addresses."

(Well, yes, it becomes quite simple in this case :)). And then it can be
spliced and splitted into HoAs, CoAs, multiple/single interface scenarios
if necessary for some kind of discussion.

If there is disagreement then I don't mind but I would like to know the
reason.

Regards,
Gabor
