LISP WG, is there any objections to adding this text:

There are several cases where segregation is needed at the EID level.
For instance, this is the case for deployments containing overlapping
addresses, traffic isolation policies or multi-tenant virtualization.
For these and other scenarios where segregation is needed, Instance
IDs are used.

as replacement to this text:

When multiple organizations inside of a LISP site are using private
addresses [RFC1918] as EID-Prefixes, their address spaces MUST remain
segregated due to possible address duplication.  An Instance ID in the
address encoding can aid in making the entire AFI-based address
unique.

Thanks,
Dino
