There were quite a few discussion on this among the authors. Looking things
are done WiMAX, CDMA and LTE. It appeared logical to allow both the use of a
neutral link-layer identifier, or adopt one of the link-layer identifier
from its sub-interfaces.  We may have to add some text around SEND
considerations. This section can go through some updates. Few need to
reflect few comments from Yokota-san and others ... Its not complete. It
shows where we are heading.

6.4.  Link-layer Identifier of a Logical Interface

   The logical Interface may or may not use the link-layer identifier
   from one of its sub-interfaces.  Following are the considerations.

   o  In access architectures where it is possible to adopt a virtual
      link-layer identfier and use it for layer-2 communications in any
      of the access networks, a virtual identifier (VLL-Id) may be used.
      The specifics on how that identifier is chosen is out side the
      scope of this document.  This identifier may be used for all link-
      layer communications.  This identifier may also be used for
      generating IPv6 global or link-local addresses on that interface.

   o  In access architectures, where the link-layer identifier is
      associated with a specific access technology, it will not be
      possible for the logical interface to adopt a virtual identifier
      and it use it across different access networks.  In such networks,
      the logical interface must adopt the identifier of the respective
      sub-interface through which a packet is being transmitted.
