Regarding HIP + map/encaps, maybe it is obvious to everyone else already but I think what that gives you is an endpoint identity (the HIT), an inner routing locator (iRLOC), and an outer RLOC (oRLOC). Up to now, LISP (and perhaps others) have been using the term "EID" to refer to what I mean by "iRLOC", and the term "RLOC" to refer to what I mean by "oRLOC".
In this sense, "oRLOC" is routable within the scope of an interdomain region, while "iRLOC" is routable only within and end site (or edge network, or whatever you want to call it). The HIP HIT is not routable within any scope so it is purely an identifier and not a locator. Is this news to anyone, or already so obvious that it doesn't even bear mention? (Will check back later; I really need to be off doing other things...)
