The real criticism is that we ALREADY have end-user names and 
infrastructure addresses: FQDNs and IP addresses. Apparently that 
wasn't enough. How do we know that a third naming layer will do the 
trick?

enum-inverse ( E.164 ). Just kidding.

 

Of course, exploiting the geographical coordinates would be my answer.

 

Obviously that can be done in many ways. If done just by building geo-prefixes i.e. without questioning the

real cause of the scalability problem, nothing would be gained.
