Here are thoughts from the APT team on this issue.

Though we feel that the RRG should recommend a solution which is 
practical and deployable today, certainly it must also be a suitably 
long-term, generic solution -- even as we move beyond IPv6 to IPv7, 8, 
and so on. With that in mind, we recommend the following:

"Our recommended solution should be address-format agnostic. That is, it
should be able to work with any reasonable addressing scheme. IPv4 and
IPv6 are examples of such addressing schemes."
