A nice idea, but correct operation depends on educating the "entire comuter
science comunity" (sic).  So instead, I volunteer to sacrifice myself in the
cause of unique network addresses:  anyone can use the number on a dollor (sic)
bill for a network address, and then mail that bill to me.  I will destroy
it, taking upon myself the full legal burden of this crime.

You're welcome.
