Two words: IP Mobility. I always thought it was more marketing than content but that doesn't stop some applications from being developed to use it. My guess would be that you'd have more trouble getting people to agree on how the 'carve' would happen than the implementation. Then of course there are the hackers who would love to mess with it. To answer your question, all I ever heard about this was (the rumor of) a draft RFC. I couldn't find it though so wasn't able to confirm. (That was about 5 months ago).
