I was starting to review a couple of ICNRG current drafts, and saw that 
the term “location” is used a lot, partly to distinguish ICN from 
host-centric designs that name things based on their “location”.

I then peeked into the terminology draft and didn’t find a definition 
of “location”. While adding this might re-open some tricky 
conversations about topologically-sensitive names, name resolution 
between “location independent” and “location dependent” names 
etc. I think we are on balance better off by having an agreed definition 
of “location” in the context of ICN than waffling and not defining 
it.

What do folks think?
