Late Binding in SPINDLE
DTN endpoint names can have multiple time-varying attributes
a source may not have the information necessary to determine which endpoints match the destination name attributes
due to intermittent connectivity in DTNs
therefore, we need late binding of attributes
i.e., not at originator, but in-network

We focus on two key late binding services:
bind destination name attributes to values, and map partially bound intentional destination names to canonical names, e.g.:
Intentional destination name: teamLeader@{org=Army,loc=36N/43E}
Canonical name: JohnDoe@unit101.army.mil
bind convergence layer attributes (e.g. protocol, interface, address)
coarse grained information about a future adjacency may be used by routing
but CL attribute bindings deferred until discovery and/or bundle forwarding
