Just to clarify something (you probably meant this, but the words don't quite
say this), it's always an identifier, wherever it is in the network (i.e.
either inside or outside its locator scope).

I think there is general agreement/understanding that it's only
meaningful/useful as a locator inside its locator scope. (Which one would
think would naturally lead one to the question "What is it when it's outside
that scope, since it's not a locator out there", but I digress...)
