It's odd to declare IP(v6) addresses bullocks that simply. It's in our systems and in our thinking.
But really, universally unique addresses are just a dream. The only address I think makes sense is derived off a public key. Any other address should be network-topology-semantic, not assigned by committee. That way there's real identity (private-publickey) and real address/location (place dependent or similar address)
One of these months I will continue work on a paper reg. semantic addressing and a true IP layer replacement. I feel bad having talked about it for years now, but life and inexperience haven't really allowed me to make a great paper out of it. One of these months.
