You are right about many things such as QoS, IPv6, etc.

However, Mobile IP is much better implemented in IPv6 so you don't get inefficient 'triangular routing' - http://www.usipv6.com/ppt/MobileIPv6_tutorial_SanDiegok.pdf

The biggest benefit of course is not having to use NAT for IPv6 traffic.

Yep, that's why people are clamoring for NATv6 ;-) (Just as the idiotic firewalling going on has made everything run over HTTP.)
