Location and name are two values one can evaluate in the process of assigning an identity value. Locations change and names have aliases, so other means (eg, reliable observation) are also sometimes used to assert that the identity is still valid. What you say works until someone sets out to spoof a system. Identity is assigned based on evaluating evidence which can include location(s) and name(s); not a synonym. len From: Jimmy Cerra [mailto:jc2astro@h...] Like when you're called by the good doctor's office and they verify your name (AKA identity) by referring to you physical address (AKA location)? To me, location and name are both synonyms for identity; locations and names just describe identity in a different way. Thus, it should be valid to use one or the other whenever the identity of **a thing** is required.
