Tony, are you quite sure about the lack of need for a name of the location of a node? What happens when a node with a locally unique identifier in a subnetwork moves to another subnetwork where there is another node with exactly the same (locally unique) identifier? How are the two nodes distinguished, and how are their ongoing sessions preserved? > 3.

I am using this definition in the preceding comment.
