Tim,

Good point. This issue has come up in the paging and BURP discussions as well.
Both are also applicable to the "nomadicity" model, where an IP
host is unplugged from one wired outlet and plugged into another.
So the issue isn't so much wireless (which implies a link layer)
as mobility (which doesn't).
