none of those three things is acceptable, not even as a compromise.
The current solution I see for this is still IPv6. Except that one moves the complete 'Independence' problem a layer higher. Enter:
HIP: Host Identity Protocol: http://www.ietf.org/html.charters/hip-charter.html
this level of complexity seems a little high for anything to be universal. (let me put it this way: A6/DNAME was shot down because of complexity, and it was simpler than this.)
