See my responses. I’ll post an update to the response email I send to Luigi.

I will use “routable in the RLOC space”, per Luigi’s comment.

Changed.

There was a decision back when RFC6830 was published to not support this. And 
that we would address it in the NAT-traversal document where the use-case 
required this behavior.

I don’t follow your point, the fact you use EIDs within an IID means the EIDs 
are private to that IID. Regardless if they are RFC1918 addresses or registry 
allocated addresses.

It doesn’t because the Map-Server maintains the original individual 
Map-Registers as well. And RLOC-probing causes the E-bit to be specified in the 
Map-Reply by the ETR.
