Yes, in fact, actual work seems to go in that direction but following this
path we reach an almost-MIPv6 solution. The SHIM6 only approach had some
advantages over MIPv6 if it does not use the rendez-vous point. A balance
among them seems to be the key.

It seems to me that to accept control packets from unknown
locators, we'd need a trust anchor of some kind - an entity
that can provide a nonce to be included in such unexpected
control packets, for example. That seems like a rendez-vous
point, even if its only job is as a trust anchor.
