Hi Michael,

Technically saying, it may exist but it seems weird to insert a new device in 
the middle of the tree. When a user wants a new device, a normal way is append 
them to the network at the end of an existing rank. Totally, you mentioned a 
topology change manually, for which we put a sentence in Section 9 of the draft 
to hightlight this consideration.

No, as long as there is enough address for this new device.

Cheers,
Guangpeng
