In addition, it is possible that the P2P interface address exchanged in the PD signaling would not be used once the P2PS PD is done. For example, in the case that one of the devices publishes support for (Cli, GO) and adds the address of a currently running P2P GO, it is possible that at the end of the PD signaling it would instantiate another P2P Client, in which case a new P2P interface address would be used.

Could you please point me to the exact spec language that supports such
interpretation? I don't see P2PS changing the definition of the Intended
P2P Interface Address attribute: the P2P Interface Address a P2P Device
intends to use in a P2P Group. This is an address on the device sending
the attribute regardless of whether the device becomes a GO or P2P
Client.

The original P2P definition most certainly expected the following group
formation to use the indicated address and not something else just
because the role "changed" in GO Negotiation. If P2PS changed that
design, it is quite unfortunate. However, I did not find any clear
statement in either spec indicating such a use case. I can only find
P2PS spec listing rules on when this attribute is included; not
indicating anything about it having different value than the P2P spec
definition.
