I've submitted this version in response to AD and proto writeup comments, mostly around how it updates RFC 6155.

The abstract has been rewritten somewhat to make it clearer, and to explicitly mention that this document deprecates the port elements from RFC 6155.

What was the final paragraph of §3 has been moved into the Introduction and rewritten thus:

 Since the Location Recipient may not know in advance whether the
 Target is behind a NAT device the port number elements from Section
 3.3 of [RFC6155] are deprecated and MUST NOT be used.  This document
 provides a more generally applicable means of identifying a Device
 based on the parameters of a network flow of which it is an endpoint.

Alissa had proposed the following text in her proto writeup:

"It updates RFC 6155 to include this extension ..."

I've explicitly *not* included such text because technically this document is a *new* extension, not an addition to the RFC 6155 schema.
