My opinion is that locator must contain next hops along a path from a root router to a node within a routing domain. Thus locator will be a safe way for a packet en route to its destination, within locator's routing domain. And especially, being quite relevant to topology, locator will natively provide intra-domain routing scalability. Furthermore, locator being an intra-domain asset, locator quantity growth will be clearly decoupled from inter-domain routing.
