Is it just me or is there a fundamental bootstrapping problem here? It seems like P2PSIP needs to sit on top of HIP for the addressing HIP provides.... yet HIP may need to sort of sit on top of P2PSIP to use the rendevous and registration services of P2PSIP.
This does not seem to be possible. Or am I just way too tired after a week of traveling and am missing something basic?

Locating a capable (non-NATed) rendezvous server in a distributed environment without a centralized service provider is itself a non-trivial problem. Additionally, even if you have obtained a rendezvous server, you still need a registration server (RFC5203). A P2PSIP peer protocol provides both.
