Hi Pekka,

I agree with most of your comments, just a clarification question 
here....

This is how hip works today, right?
i mean in the HIP case:
AID==HIT
EID==HI

I guess that what it seems that we need is to support routable AIDs, 
and provide the means to securely bind them to the corresponding EID, 
right?
