Yes. But I suspect that wishes about the aggregatability of the ID space 
are similar to past wishes about aggregatability of addresses. I.e., 
wishes that do not necessarily become true.

Note that aggregation of the ID space can come in two ways: ability to 
map range of IDs belonging to an organization vs. ability map an 
individual host's ID. I would suggest that we need the former. The 
latter would replace current scalability and aggregation problems with 
different scalability and aggregation problems.
