Certainly does. Apparently this or a similar idea was suggested back in1997, and is the root origin of the 64 bits for host address space, according to Christian Huitema, in his IPv6 book - http://www.huitema.net/ipv6.asp. A google search found the draft : "GSE - An Alternate Addressing Architecture for IPv6" M. O'Dell, INTERNET DRAFT, 1997 http://www.caida.org/outreach/bib/networking/entries/odell97GSE.xml
Note that GSE is in no way a NAT, so is very different than David's proposal.
GSE also has a direct impact on all implementations (e.g., only use the identifier bits in the TCP pseudo-header, so that is also an all- implementations change. Further, that is a flag day, worldwide, even for non-multi-homed sites.
