I realize that this is more of an IETF issue than a NANOG one, but, I'd
like to find a couple of people with some protocol background and a strong
operational background that would be interested in trying to see if we
can come up with a way to develop a version of IP which did not require
a flag day, but, would facilitate a transition towards an IP where the
End System Identifier (Host Address) could be globally unique to a given
system (think PI space) and essentially a layer 4 construct, but, the
Routing Tag (Network Address) could, instead, be dynamically determined
and separate information.

Check HIP: http://hip.piuha.net/

As that is exactly what you describe.
