let me put that another way, in case it's not clear enough as stated:
tcp's existing reference to network addresses are a layering violation, and so anything we do to improve the situation will also be a layering violation, but what of it? deciding against making tcp "less pure" is not going to meet the needs and demands of the community -- and those needs and demands WILL be met, and probably in even less pure ways. google for a product or feature called "3TCP" to see what i mean.
But doesn't HIP fix that in a way that is already specified and it just needs to be pushed forward if the community feels it fixes the "next generation TCP" issue? Pete
