What I mean is, is the "location" also simply an address/hostname and

We don't need XEP-0198 in BOSH because there we have 'rid' attributes
and such (in fact XEP-0198 borrows some of its ideas about managing the
connection from the BOSH spec).
So I would say that in XEP-0198 the client will only ever be told to
reconnect to an IP address or hostname, using standard XMPP methods (TCP
binding).
We may not have a need for the stream ack'ng or stream resumption,
necessarily (though I might be willing to argue a case for the latter),
but I still think the 'location' bit could be useful. It seems totally
reasonable that your description to Kim for the usage of 'location' when
load balancing client connections could apply to BOSH-based connections,
as well.
