May be I missed something, but what is an "interface locator"?
Just what it sounds like: a locator for a specific interface. This
would be distinct from, for example, a system locator, endpoint
locator, or stack locator.
IMHO sounds a bit strange that we define identifiers and locators and
then we use the latter to locate interfaces....
I was thinking that a "locator" locates "identifier", if an identifier
is associated to an interface, then it is correct, but I feel that
somehow current definition introduces a constrain.
See the discussion that I had with Noel, as he's the one who
proposed this.
Thanks, I will get a closer look to that discussion.
