I'm flattered to be cited, but I hope this doesn't convey the
impression that the draft (now in the RFC queue) offers a
solution. It's more of the nature of a problem statement and
gap analysis. I think it would be helpful to state that, to
avoid any false expectations.

Two observations:
1. Maybe add some words to point out that it isn't a done deal. ILNP
hasn't had the kind of across the board review in the IETF that seems
essential, to look for corner cases and unexpected consequences. There's
work to be done.
2. The IETF has already standardised a different approach (shim6) and is
in the process of specifying LISP. While this may be the IETF's problem
to sort out, perhaps you should also point out that we'd end up with
a menagerie of three species by adding ILNP.
