IMHO this is a purely academic exercise. Very interesting, but unlikely to produce concrete results, as the opinions and arguments WRT the issue are heavily tied to the proposed solution. For example, I am completely with Pekka Nikander when recommending id/loc separation as applied to HIP (I would do the same); however, in the case of MHAP we are currently discussing the opposite side which is that the identifier could be one of the locators. This is not all black or white. > Therefore, we suggest that interested parties create a > separate mailing list to discuss the topic of identifier > and locator separation. I have moved this thread to the MHAP list; although I do not expect changes to MHAP WRT the issue it is on-topic there.
