I'm confused. Issuing IP addresses based on geographic location is precisely what these people mean when they talk about the "identifier/locator split."

If by geography you are referring to the Earth, then no, that's not what it means. It's more at topology rather than physical location.

The problems derive not only from host mobility (which HIP attempts to address) but from pervasive multihoming and the drive for provider-independent address space, which is inherently at odds with aggregation.

This is about BGP more than it is about end hosts.
