Actually, that use case is only helped by the EID block if you can be sure that ALL the destination EIDs it will see will come from the block. Which seems to be impossible to ensure in the general case. And easy to achieve without an allocated block in many of the special cases.

If it is difficult to explain what the experiment is about then I understand 
that people are afraid it might be a bad idea.

I'll explain one experiment and will be crystal ear about it.

(1) We want to have a LISP site send to both LISP sites and not LISP sites.

(2) We want an ITR to do mapping database lookups when the destination address 
is an EID.

(3) We want the ITR to forward packet s by doing a traditional FIB lookup when 
the destination is not an EID.

Good Zen?
