People who were in HIP will know that Steve Kent wasn't in favor of 
HIP. Steve cornered me in the hallway to point out that randomly
generated identities aren't very useful for things like access
control configuration and so you will neeed to do a lot of mapping
back and forth, which is of course very inconvenient. You want
to express policy using either DNS names or IP addresses.

Thought I'd forward it along...
