Err, minor terminological nit: one my definitions of "locator" is 'names used
by the path-selection system'. So if you have a system which is doing
"rout[ing]" (i.e. doing next-hop selection along the path), then the things
it is using as the name of the destination are, *by definition*, locators...
even if you call them EIDs!
