There are under200 countries onthe whole planet, so that's not a huge number ofbits... Not that this avoids renumbering, as countries do occasionally split or merge. Sometimes there's also address space exhaustion within a country and renumbering is required. (I am reminded of a Londoner whining about "loads" of number changes since 1990. In fact, there have been just three: 01 -> 071/081 -> 0171/0181 -> 020.)
But if the "country ID" bits were always in a defined place, the pain of renumbering due to country merge/split could be mitigated. In any case, countries don't split or merge THAT much. ===== David Barak -fully RFC 1925 compliant- __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail - You care about security.
