I think that there are many working groups, standard bodies and
technologies who focuses on multiple addresses per host. So, I'd also
like MIF to concentrate on simultaneous connections to multiple networks
(or simultaneous use of multiple connections with multiple networks). I
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'd actually appreciate focus on the multiple interfaces (or multiple
network providers) problem. I think that attacking this in full
generality is well beyond what we can manage. I think even a focused
problem may prove challenging.
