        Easy... perhaps/perhaps not.
        Shim6 is an attempt to split the endpoint identifier
        from the routing locator. Unfortunately, it is not a
        clean split, still co-mingling the two thus retaining
        the confusion that we have today on what is an address
        used for... :)  Not persuaded that this is going to be
        easy.
