I changed the first sentence to:

    This memo describes the Host Identity (HI) namespace, that provides a
    cryptographic namespace to applications, and the associated protocol
    layer, the Host Identity Protocol, located between the
    internetworking and transport layers, that supports end-host
    mobility, multihoming and NAT traversal.

Is this ok for you?
