When  I was talking about mapping system, I was talking about the
“API” (Map-Request, Map-Reply, Map-Register… ).

I understand that it is not straightforward to make it in a nice way, but
the as LISP is about decoupling control-plane and data-plane it would
make sense to also decouple control and data-plane definition.

Imagine you want someone to only implement the control-plane, how
does he know what to implement exactly to be fully compliant?
