Ok. I would write this as:

   responsible for managing IP mobility on behalf of the host.  However,
   Proxy Mobile IPv6 does not support assigning a prefix to a router and
   managing IP mobility for it and the networks it serves. This document

Maybe.. see above.

Could you elaborate a bit more?

Good point. That needs to be clarified.

Section 3.4.2 states it..? I don't quite get what is missing here..

Cumulative ACK for the rest.
