Ok, I read section 4.6 of the HIP Native API document.

Well, the feature is the same. But the requirements and pre-requisites 
are different. Anyway, let's resolve this.

By 2, you mean updating the texts in the SHIM API document, correct?

What about updating the texts for Section 13.1.2 (replacing the second 
paragraph) as follows:

If the shim sub-layer turns out to be HIP, the HIP implementation MUST 
reject the request (SHIM_LOC_PEER_SEND as cmsg_type) for using a unknown 
destination locator. There is, however, an exceptional case where the 
HIP implementation SHOULD accept the request provided that the message 
to be sent by sendmsg() contains an I1 packet. In this exceptional case, 
the kernel SHOULD accept the request even if there is no shim context 
associated with the socket.

Does this sound reasonable?

Shinta
