	Easy... perhaps/perhaps not.
	Shim6 is an attempt to split the endpoint identifier
	from the routing locator. Unfortunately, it is not a
	clean split, still co-mingling the two thus retaining
	the confusion that we have today on what is an address
	used for... :)  Not persuaded that this is going to be
	easy.
