For constructive discussion, what, do you think, are the current
assumptions which would be invalidated?

I think it is merely that the current assumptions using the terminology
of "address" should be more precisely phrased with "address" replaced
by "id" or "locator", which does not change the architecture of the
current Internet.

Or, do you have any exception?
