I have no objections to the adoption of the draft but a quick review of the
document does raise a few issues.  There are a few references to Diameter
that seem irrelevant and lots of grammatical errors, 
Frank=>We will have a thorough self-check before submitting the draft.

but the most obvious
question is of the consistent duplication of attributes. 
For example, why are both PMIP6-Home-LMA-IPv6-Address &
PMIP6-Visited-LMA-IPv6-Address
defined?  Are both attributes expected to occur the same RADIUS message? 
Frank=>Yes.  When a mobile node moves into a visited network, it has choice
to 
anchor home LMA or visited LMA based on its profile and carrier's policy.

If so, this should be stated; 
Frank=>We will.

if not then there is no need, AFAICT, for two
attributes to be defined.  The IANA Considerations section doesn't say
whether the attribute numbers are to be assigned from the standard attribute
namespace but I assume that they are; 
Frank=>You are right.

that space is small & rapidly being
depleted, so I think that the unnecessary creation of standard RADIUS
attributes should be avoided.
Frank=>Your concerns make sense. However, we think it is necessary
to have two attributes as WiMAX does.
