True, but I think I have not said that it is a MUST, I'm
just saying 
that it might be included. I believe that is exactly what
the following 
says:

"the Care-of Address is taken from the Alternate
Care-of Address 
sub-option. If the Alternate Care-of Address sub-option is
not present, 
the Care-of Address must be taken from the Source Address
field of the 
IPv6 header."

i.e. use the Alternate Care-of Address option if present,
otherwise use 
the Source Address field.

However, I believe we both are now pretty much on the same
"frequency". 
If you get my meaning
