I understand your point, but
I request you to explain how the implementation should be 
in the following scenario ?

When MN moves, MN sends CTAR to nAR,
nAR needs to extract IP information from CTAR and send a CTREQ to oAR.
When both(IPv4 & IPv6) are present in CTAR, What is the behaviour of nAR ?

Raghu
