No, I don't believe we have this consensus. Specifically, we don't have a consensus that a new category of identifiers should be created, and that this new category should be used by all applications and processed by all nodes. We also definitely don't have a consensus that any such identifiers should be visible "in the network", by opposition to say, session identifiers that are only visible end-to-end.
