[rrg] Rejecting all but Strategy A

Regarding HIP + map/encaps, maybe it is obvious to everyone
else already but I think what that gives you is an endpoint
identity (the HIT), an inner routing locator (iRLOC), and an
outer RLOC (oRLOC). Up to now, LISP (and perhaps others) have
been using the term "EID" to refer to what I mean by "iRLOC",
and the term "RLOC" to refer to what I mean by "oRLOC".

In this sense, "oRLOC" is routable within the scope of an
interdomain region, while "iRLOC" is routable only within and
end site (or edge network, or whatever you want to call it).
The HIP HIT is not routable within any scope so it is purely
an identifier and not a locator.

Is this news to anyone, or already so obvious that it doesn't
even bear mention? (Will check back later; I really need to
be off doing other things...)
