Hi Noel,
(BTW, "locator and identifier" is not really optimal terminology, because
those refer to specific kinds of names, and it's better to refer to the
generic concepts, i.e. 'identity' and 'location'.)
Many proposals actually deal with network attachment points (RLOCs) and
names of endpoints (EIDs) which both serve to find the desired
endpoint/interface. I call them global and local locators. They usually
do not imply an identity that could easily move from one to another
network or from one to another device. The fact that local locators are
often called "identifiers" does not help to understand what proposals
actually do.
Regards,
Michael
