Only one...?

IMHO, a PKI certificate identifies a stack/person/host so it is a
identifier in the RRG terminology, right?
http://trac.tools.ietf.org/group/irtf/trac/wiki/RRGTerminology

A second identifier is needed, that will provide mobility (fixed and
mobile site, endpoint) and not as complex to deploy as a PKI
infrastructure, also less secure than the PKI infrastructure. Think
this needs be clarified, if not - there is a risk that the new
identifier will have too much security features and start to compete
with the PKI infrastructure??

When moving, your identifier will still be kept, not changed, but your locator will be changed. The mapping between the identifier and the changing locator (and its retrieval) will have to be done a server in the infrastructure (perhaps an extended DNS or rendezvous server(?) in HIT) a very efficient manner.
