Okay, I'll make a fool of myself on-list -- certainly not the
first time. ;-)

Why not use the highest-order 32 bits of an IPv6 address for
interdomain routing... i.e., "overlay" them on IPv4 addresses
and/or a 32-bit ASN?  Yes, it smells of classful routing.  Call
me shortsighted, but how many billion interdomain routing
policies do we really need?

Probably OT, but seems semi-fitting for the thread.
