|Ah, I don't consider the location/identity split a 'routing

As has been remarked before, routing and addressing are fundamentally
inseparable, and indeed our charter is to explore both routing and
addressing architectures.  To my mind, a locator/identifier split is a major
change in the addressing architecture that will fundamentally change the
scalability of the routing subsystem.

If folks have other tricks up their sleeve that result in improved routing
scalability, that's certainly most welcome.
