Hi Roland!

(And greetings to my former hometown, Karlsruhe!)

I agree; this is also the approach we currently take.

The set of requirements for drones is complex, and I have not laid it out well - mostly because this conversation thread is about addressing, while most of the issues I perceive are to do with routing. Of course the two are hard to separate. I also have another use case in mind that is unrelated to drones.

I have been pointed in some interesting directions on this list - thank you all! - and I think at this time it's best that I read through this material carefully. I can then come back, lay out my use cases, and provide some comments on which approach does and does not work so well from their point of view.

That seems a lot better than continuing, because conceptually, the split between identifier and locator as proposed makes a lot of sense to me as well; we're effectively pursuing much the same direction.
