But that is how you'd implement an EID namespace that doesn't overlap  
with an RLOC namespace.

You could use, say 10.1.1.1 in both namespaces to mean two different  
things. That is, an address used as an endpoint TCP connection  
identifier and the other to number a CE/PE link from a PA-block on a  
CPE router.
