It's worth pointing out that the ILNP Locator doesn't name an interface
either; and the ILNP Locator+Identifier also doesn't really name an interface,
because if a machine has (for some strange reason) two interfaces to the same
physical network, the Locator+Identifier cannot distinguish between them.
However, the Locator+Identifier does 'sort of' name an interface in most
configurations.
