I may be not following, but my understanding is that Brian is proposing to
use a non routable address as identifier, so that it can be assigned
independently from the topology.
This location independent identifier would be have a global meaning, not
local, as i understand it.
The problem is that it cannot be used as a locator. IMHO you could store it
in the DNS, as long as you make sure that it is not used as a locator.
Perhaps a new RR could be defined to store this id.
