Indeed and as you point out InstanceID should provide enough isolation.
Please let me know if the following sentence (section 4.1) clarifies your
point:

The Map-Cache is indexed by (Instance ID, EID-prefix) and
   contains basically the set of RLOCs with the associated traffic
   engineering policies (priorities and weights).


Further in the same paragraph, in this text:

This is correct, I'll update the paragraph as you suggest, thanks!
