Read the first three paragraphs of abstract of the draft:

        multihoming is supported by transport (TCP) or application

        the network

is the reason.

The Architecture of End to End Multihoming

However, the draft is lacking in any description of an actual architecture.

That is a very convincing argument made by a person who haven't read
title or abstract of the draft at all.

Thank you very much.

*YOU* should read rfc1518. Then, you could have noticed that the rfc,
despite its title, says:

   Status of this Memo

   This RFC specifies an Internet standards track protocol for the
   Internet community

though, with modern terminology, the rfc is rather a BCP than
on standard track.
