[Med] The draft assumes the following:

"This deployment scenario relies on MPTCP Proxy on both
   the CPE and the network sides (Figure 1). "

which means that the option is requested only when the CPE embeds an MPTCP proxy. 

As for an MPTCP-enabled host serviced by a CPE that does not embed an MPTCP proxy, the behavior is left unspecified because we considered it is out of scope.

[Med] This is a good point...but the draft adopts a simple scheme where available access networks belong to the same administrative entity. We may clarify this point in the next revision.
