Alan, Excellent post, thanks. I just have two things to comment.

I will modulate this by saying that end-user networks don't necessarily want straight PI, they want the perks that come with it. Although it is clear that nothing will be as simple as straight PI, it does come with a hefty price, the size of the routing table, that we are not ready to pay yet. When we come up with an identifier/locator system that provides the same perks, the reduction of the routing table will be a worthy trade-off for the oddities that will come with the identifier/locator.
