Hi Tony,
Here's where we are after one round of comments.

locator A locator is a name that has topological sensitivity and
must
MUST? In for example mobile networks the layer 3 locator often doesn't
change if the point of attachment changes. So does "point of
attachment" refer to attachment at the layer the locator refers to?
change if the point of attachment changes. By convention,
a locator refers to layer 3 by default. It is also
possible to have locators at other layers. Locators may
have other properties, such as their scope (local or global
(default)) and their lifetime (ephemeral or permanent
(default)).
identifier An identifier is the name of an object; identifiers have no
topological sensitivity, and do not change, even if the
"do not change" -> "do not have to change"?
object changes its point(s) of attachment within the
network topology. Identifiers may have other properties,
such as the scope of their uniqueness (local or global
(default)), the probability of their uniqueness
(statistical or absolute (default)), and their lifetime
(ephemeral or permanent (default)).
address An address is a name that is both an interface locator
and an
endpoint identifier.
