I may have misunderstood the question, but the proposed
mechanism is an alternative and optional scheme for
authorizing BUs related to route optimization.

As such, the base RR mechanism is used by default
unless this specific scheme is implemented and
configured on. The proposed mechanism is applicable
only to a certain (limited) class of situations, so
you would not always have such a configuration available.

Or perhaps you are asking whether the mechanism is used
in addition to RR? I think the authors have inteded the
mechanim to be used as a replacement (for the situations
that it applies to) rather than as an add-on. There has
also been some discussion on the list about whether the
proposed mechanism should be merged with care of address
testing from the base RFC or possibly some improvement of
that, such as CBA/EBU. I personally think that something
along those lines might be fruitful and would make the
mechanism more widely applicable, though it may be too
early to tell yet.
