The handbook is outdated and I think what you are referring to is from 
the early days of the IPv6/IPsec stack implementation times probably 
during FreeBSD 4.

What you are doing (gre/gif inside transport mode to possibly get a 
link-state change as well, or BGP over transport mode directly is both 
fine.


I think the short answer:  updates to the handbook would be very 
welcome!
