Scalable "PI-like" identifiers are a by-product of some multihoming solutions (this is the identifier/locator thing). It has been discussed whether or not to limit their scope to multihomers only, but in any case generalizing the multihoming solution to singlehomers to provide the benefits of a "PI-like" is a matter of policy, not protocol. In other words: it is possible indeed to look at solving the problem of PI scalability as a self-contained issue, but why? This is so deeply related to multihoming that the best way is to make sure that by-products of multihoming solutions do indeed provide a scalable PI-like solution for singlehomers.
