|I'm confused by what you said. In Noel's Endpoint Name draft, the first

|that wrong? 


You'd have to ask Noel.  Ran clearly disagrees.  FWIW, our earlier
experiences with GSE point to the fact that truly achieving guaranteed
global uniqueness is already hard.  The best that we can easily do is
statistical uniqueness.


|Or
|you just want to use the locator identifier pair together as a globally
|unique identifier. Then should this pair keep stable in a long 
|run just like
|the home address in mobile IP?


Again, Ran is specifying that the identifier be locally unique, so yes, the
(L, I) pair should be globally unique.  I make no claims about its
stability, especially in the face of roaming.  Again, you should ask Ran,
it's his proposal.
