James, As noted, this was from a year ago, when the Mobile IPv6 spec was sent back to the working group to come up with a different approach to authenticating binding updates (which they have now done). Although the quotes are accurate, they are combined in a misleading way. The Mobile IP group obviously has not been working on IPv6 mobility since 1991; that's (approximately) when it started working on IPv*4* mobility. The article included several other, more serious distortions and exaggerations of what I said (as almost always happens, as anyone who talks to journalists knows), starting with the title. Please don't take it as an accurate report of what really happened or what I thought or said about it. Steve
