Hello again folks,

The text has been revised to create a new RREP
status code named "Invalid Home Agent Address".
A new item has been entered into the list of
foreign agent codes, after the existing code 73
but still with TBD-IANA as its value.  The following
text is added to section 3.7.2 at the end of the
second paragraph:

>                          ...........                     Otherwise,
>   if the foreign agent does not serve the mobile node as a home agent,
>   the foreign agent rejects the Registration Request with code TBD-IANA
>   (Invalid Home Agent Address).

The following text appears in the IANA Considerations:

>   In this revised specification, a new Code value (for the field in the
>   Registration Reply message) is needed within the range typically used
>   for Foreign Agent messages.  This error code is needed to indicate
>   the status "Invalid Home Agent Address".  See section 3.7.2 for
>   details.

With this resolution of the problem, I propose that
Issue 9 be marked as "accepted" and closed.

By the way, the current revised specification is available at
