The current draft already seems to account for this.
The link events originate from the link layer and are intended for MIH
and do not have a destination identifier associated with them. The local
MIH Function can determine if these events need to be sent to
remote/peer MIH entities or not depending on remote/peer MIH
registration for these events etc.
But all MIH_SAP primitives (commands) have a Destination Identifier
associated with them. Please refer to section 7 for details on different
MIH command related primitives.

Which MIH commands do not have Destination Identifier listed in section
7?
