Even MACs aren't entirely unique. Some places used to assign MAC addresses like they assigned IP addresses and the NIC had to be reconfigured for the assigned MAC. An admin was freely able to assign a MAC to Joe Blow using a 3Com or Cisco OUI without fear of retribution. I personally have never seen any use in such a thing but obviously someone did.
Why not IPv6 addresses? Some designated prefix? There are enough addresses in 2^128 that we can all be happy...
