Keith,
From a terminology perspective we have RFC 4941 defining temporary
addresses, but that document doesn't provide a term for the
non-temporary addresses. 4941 does have some text saying
a "public" (i.e., non-secret) server address, registered
in the DNS
FWIW RFC 5014 consistently uses "public" to refer to "not temporary".
There are many people (in IETF and elsewhere) who believe that
applications should never use IP addresses directly or in referrals to
other applications.
I don't think there is any particular assumption about the role of the
DNS (or other registries like SIP proxies) versus IP addresses in
referrals in this work.
Instead this work is using the terms the same way that RFC 5014 does.
Regards,
Erik
