Hi all,
As the conversation has died down, I'm going to guess that we've
converged. The consensus check can be found here:

Please vote for or against these definitions:
locator A locator is a name for a point of attachment within the
topology at a given layer. Objects that change their point
of attachment(s) will need to change their associated
locator(s). By default, a locator refers to layer 3. 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 at a given layer;
identifiers have no topological sensitivity, and do not
have to change, even if the 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 used as both an interface
locator and an endpoint identifier.
