Actually, we do, at least in the case of IP addresses. If some WSIS-blessed
bureacracy decides to make IP addresses "portable" (like phone numbers in a
number of jurisdictions), the technical people will be in deep do-do. (And of
course that issue is 100% the same in IPv4/6, since the semantics of IPv4/6
addresses are basically the same, as are the routing [path-selection]
mechanisms in both.)
