I think that there are many working groups, standard bodies and

believe that most of cases for simultaneous connections to multiple
networks require multiple addresses. However, it does not need to be the
main focus, but MIF NEEDS it. So, I would like to say that multiple
addresses per host needs to be addressed for simultaneous use of
multiple connections. Therefore, I think working on MIF problem should
be more than just focusing on multiple addresses.

I think it's interesting that you appear to consider "multiple addresses
per host" a narrower problem than "multiple network connections per
host", whereas I consider the latter to be a subset of the former.

I suppose that makes a good illustration of why I really want the WG to
explore this issue from multiple points-of-view.
