I know I'm showing up late to the party, but can someone expand upon this from 
the RFC?

5.  Source Addresses versus Group Addresses

   Multicast group addresses don't have to be associated with either the
   EID or RLOC namespace.  They actually are a namespace of their own
   that can be treated as logical with relatively opaque allocation.
   So, by their nature, they don't detract from an incremental
   deployment of LISP-Multicast.

The documents make reference to:
(S-EID,G)
(S-RLOC,G)

It seems that while both these may be numerically identical (eg. 
239.255.255.254), in terms of LISP, doesn't (S,G) have to much more complex and 
represent either (S-EID,G-EID(IID)) and (S-RLOC,G-RLOC(IID))?

Once we introduce LISP mobility, what does (G) actually mean, especially when 
(G) can refer to link-local multicast for a host that has roamed off of its 
home subnet?
