"As the architecture is realized, if a given bit string is both an RLOC and an EID, 
it must refer to the same entity in both cases".

In a MESH-architecture the EID of a mobile-node can be the RLOC of a neighbour 
mobile-node.
I too would like to understand your comment.

What the sentence is trying to achieve is that in some cases an EID and RLOC 
may be the same value for a given end-node. Like when when an EID is behind a 
NAT and the xTR is on the public side of the NAT, where the local private EID 
will be translated to a global EID and to reach the xTR the RLOC is also the 
same translated address.

Sorry, I missed the context and thought it is generally valid.

The basic idea for a MESH-network is a LISP-node which acts as a xTR for itself and a RTR for the neighbour-nodes. In that case the string is a LEID for the MESH-node and a RLOC for the neighbour MESH-nodes. As the phrasing does not apply in this case, I'm happy with the removed "EIDs MUST NOT be used as LISP RLOCs". ;-)
