Not if you seperate EIDs from the routing goop.  [Which then leads
to the question of how you get from an EID to the routing goop.]

Note that a solution could not effect the DNS at all.  I.e.: I
could see something that has the EID/routing-goop split and a
different (non-DNS) solution of how you get from EIDs to the
routing-goop.  The DNS would only deal with EIDs.
