9.3.1 Receiving Packets with Home Address Option

   Packets containing a Home Address option MUST be dropped if the given
   home address is not a unicast routable address.

      (snip)

   If the packet is dropped due the above tests, the correspondent node
   MUST send the Binding Error message as described in Section 9.3.3.
   The Status field in this message should be set to 1 (unknown binding
   for Home Address destination option).

9.3.3 Sending Binding Error Messages

   The Home Address field in the Binding Error message MUST be copied
   from the Home Address field in the Home Address destination option of
   the offending packet, or set to the unspecified address if no such
   option appeared in the packet.
