Some questions have also risen WRT identity:

Is identity a network level thing or an application level thing?
Whatever. All of the above. There are many possible ways to use
identifiers, particularly for "session" (whatever that is, at
whatever
layer) authentication and re-authentication. The point to
locator/identifier separation is primarily to get identification-
related
functions to stop depending on location-dependent tokens, i.e.
locators.
Once that's done, they can use anything they like -- and they do :-).
Agreed. They do.
That does not mean that identity should not be an important part of
the internet architecture.
Note also that the paper above mixes identity with identifiers. They
are not the same thing
ok try this paper and tell me what you think ;)
