a few more general question/clearification around the draft in general 
just to see if I understood it correct. Also fun to read those small 
comments on Steve Jobs and iPhone :)

In section 3, you mentio about EID:
" The source EID is obtained via existing
      mechanisms used to set a hosts "local" IP address.  LISP uses PI
      blocks for EIDs; such EIDs MUST NOT be used as LISP RLOCs.  Note
      that EID blocks may be assigned in a hierarchical manner,"

Why restrict it to PI addresses there? If, because no one know how it is 
moving on, ULA-C/G are approved and getting into use, they would be almost 
perfect for this usage.


Next thing, EID-prefix, that would be the above mention IP block?


Also in Section 4.1 (page 9-10), the example was worded so it could be 
read that it is Ipv4 only. I know thats not true but maybe change the 
wording a bit? A change like this could be enough:

"This section provides an example of a IPv4 unicast packet flow with 
the following parameters:"
