The previous section already says this.

   Once the client sends an acknowledgement to the gateway, it SHOULD
   delete the existing security associations with the old gateway by
   sending an Informational message with a DELETE payload.  The gateway
   MAY also decide to delete the security associations without any
   signaling from the client, again by sending an Informational message
   with a DELETE payload. 

I guess you want this text repeated in section 6 too (?)
