As logically separate sources for incoming/outbound packets, they are just
like multiple real interfaces. The name used for neither is really the
'identity' of the host, the names applied to those things just identify
sources/sinks of packets.

I said "endpoint identifiers" (under whatever definition of that term one
wishes to use), not "addresses".
So, a single host can have multiple identities (whether one does so via
multiple interfaces/interface addresses, or endpoint identifiers). So?
