It would help the rest of us if there were an Internet-Draft
describing this that we could study.  You seem to have something
quite specific in your mind.  Would you mind putting
one together with your specific proposal ?  

For my own part, some immediate questions that you might want
to clarify for the I-D would include:
        - What identifier takes the place of the IP address 
          in this API?
        - How does one modify TCP and UDP to work with the new
          system ?
        - How does the new API handle UDP traffic to multicast
          destinations ?

Thanks,
