It would break correlation in time, but it would still enable correlation in space, as in "these two locators lead to the same location". That may or may not be a problem for *site* multihoming, but it definitely is a problem for *host* multihoming, e.g. a host with a WiFi and a GPRS connection. Come to think of it, the only way to not disclose these relations to third parties is to (1) make sure that the identifier is not disclosed as part of the IPv6 address and (2) make sure that the identifier is only exchanged over an encrypted channel between the corresponding hosts. -- Christian Huitema
