Hi Stephen,

You referred in your message to an old version. The latest version of the 
document does not include any requirement, it is only an inventory of use cases 
when problems are encountered. The latest version is available at: 
http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-boucadair-intarea-host-identifier-scenarios-05.

Some of these use cases are restricted to a single administrative domain while 
others span multiple domain. Privacy concerns are really important; these are 
discussed in RFC6967.

The use cases are not theoretical ones, but are those where complications 
arise. Explicitly calling out security risks (including privacy ones) will 
benefit to this work. It is really helpful to understand the use cases and call 
out any potential risks rather than speculating without actual understanding of 
what the problem is.

This document is the opportunity to record security and privacy concerns that 
apply to these use cases. The content of the document is not frozen. Adopting 
it as a WG document will undoubtedly enrich it and benefit from other 
perspectives that those of the authors. 

Cheers,
Med
