Sorry to be a curmudgeon and let me play devil's advocate for a minute. I realize that the address space is enormous; gigantic, even, but if we treat it as cavalierly as you all are proposing, it will get used up. If its treated like an infinite resource that will never, ever be used up as we have done with every other resource on the planet, won't we find ourselves in a heap of trouble?
At this stage we're only 'being cavalier' with 1/8th of the space. We can be more restrictive with the the other 7/8ths if those predicting rapid consumption turn out to be correct. Right now that would be a nice problem to have. Tim
