Noel,
Please recall that IP addresses are currently serving two semantic
functions: Locator and Identity. I interpreted Keith's posting to be
speaking of the latter. (e.g., HIP)

Huh? Did you mean "identifiers are a lot easier to deal with if they're
location-independent"?
If that wasn't a typo, and you really meant what you said, the whole
*point* of locators is to include location information. A "locator
[which is] location-independent" is an completely oxymoron.
