Could AAA be defined to work with stateless address
autoconfiguration or DHCPv6 instead of as an alternative?
Perhaps AAA could somehow bootstrap these other mechanisms.
I know nothing about AAA beyond the idea that it provides
information necessary to establish a security association
between the home agent and the mobile node.

=> Actually I believe the security association
is between the MN and AAAH.

While there are no messages defined yet for
IPv6 AAA. You could envision a scenario
where having your NAI, and the shared secret with
your AAAH would be a sufficient start to request
pretty much anything from your home network.

So if you have your NAI and your shared secret with
AAAH, the rest is basic protocol design IMO.
You can request a home address, then discover
a HA (better than requesting a HA as well IMO)
or request home address and a HA.
