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?

I am using this definition in the preceding comment.

I think role-based: http://isi.edu/newarch/DOCUMENTS/hotrba.paper.pdf
