I would actually like to see Tero's scheme in the base IKEv2 document.
An ability to cope with changing addresses is becoming essential
in today's networks. Roaming around, being mobile, multi-homing,
... all of these call for an ability to change addresses. While
it is true that rekeying can help here as well, its really
undesireable solution for many people.
