Hi, The draft has taken into account anycast addresses. http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-6man-rfc3484-revise-05#section-2.6
It remains to handle the special case of Subnet-Router anycast address. (http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4291#section-2.6.1) "The Subnet-Router anycast address is intended to be used for applications where a node needs to communicate with any one of the set of routers." So, I think a SRaa must be excluded from the candidate set of source address for a new communication. The SRaa as source address must be reserved for a reply to a packet sent to this SRaa. Text proposal (to add section 2.6) : "As an exception, a Subnet-Router anycast address MUST NOT be included in the candidate set of source address when initiating communication. The Subnet-Router anycast address as source address MUST be used in a reply to a packet sent to this Subnet-Router anycast address".
