Yes - so the EID and RLOC refer to the same end-host.
Wrong. The EID is assigned to the end-host and the RLOC is assigned
to the
LISP router.
Fine - but if the RLOC were a globally routable address assigned to me
instead of
your LISP router- then your computer with its EID couldn't talk to me.
(and you might
be happier ;-)
It would still work. You are missing something conceptually. We have
to talk through this. Maybe at IETF if you are going to be there.

(And an end-host can have a globally routable address during
transition for interworking..)

P.S. Do you disagree with Joel's rephrasing of the issue?

Could a host in a LISP site send to an IP address as an EID

same IP address as a globally addressable (or routable)?
A host sends to destinations. So it doesn't know one from the
other (a
feature). So yes, both a non-LISP site host and a LISP site
host can
talk
to
both a non-LISP site and LISP site destination.
Let me provide examples, since I strongly think the answer is NO
and
feel
you
have side-stepped the question into vague generalities that
ignores the
issue.
I will be very specific. Today my systems at home use an EID for
TCP
connections. That same 32-bit value is used as an RLOC for LISP
encapsulating packets that come into my house.
