The Initiator has TWO ECDH key pairs. One is the HI, the other is an identity privacy key (IPK?). I2 uses the IPK on the 'outside' with the HI encrypted for an 'inner' ECDH protected exchange. The responders HI is still exposed. It is ASSUMED that this is acceptable and that the Initiator has some mechanism to validate this HI to avoid a DH MITM. > > I don't know if this is worth the effort to flesh out. I have lots of other work to do on HIP-bis, HIP-DEX, core, and some Verizon projects.

If it were static, you don't win much because the host can be identified by the outer DH key. If it is not a static DH, the host needs to generate a new DH key pair for each DEX. This can become quite costly. Interesting idea, though!
