I have some ideas on what some of these trends might be. But what do the rest
of you think? Where is identifier technology going, and what new things are
on the horizon? What do we need to do with IDNs? DNSSEC? What will DANE lead
to, and how will id-locator split techniques evolve & be deployed? How will
applications or users think about identifiers in the future?

I think it is important to not restart discussions already held regarding
different requirements on identifiers, requirements that in turn lead to
various alternatives on how they are allocated, managed and resolved. I do not
think one can have one identifier that fits all. Instead multiple kind of
identifiers are needed. Because of requirements on uniqueness (absolute, low
risk of collisions or not needed at all), persistence, human
readable/understandable, whether allocation and resolution should be designed
for read (lookups) or write (allocation), what the identifier is to be used for
(see id/loc discussions).
