OTOH, rewriting of source locator is not so useful, though I have
no reason to forbid it.
Unless the source address is already a valid address assigned by the ISP you're forwarding the packet to (which can't by definition always be the case in a locator/identifier scheme), you need to rewrite it in order to get through ingress filtering and to be able to receive ICMP messages. Remember that path MTU discovery is pretty much mandatory in IPv6 so you need those ICMPs. Ingress filtering is important to keep denial of service attacks in check to at least some degree.
