I'm not an expert in this area, but isn't this type of thing already  
addressed by 802.1x?

Even if not, it's not hard to see the we will want to have automated  
authentication mechanisms that allow us to change networks without  
manual intervention.  So while we might not be there yet, this is a  
AAA problem that someone should go off and solve.  The network  
architecture itself should still allow for these transitions to be as  
seamless as possible, including session migration.
