Nope. The ULID is supposed to be static, globally unique. Just not globally routed. Seperating topology from identification.
Something I didn't see discussed yet is that shim6 sites would need to get a globally unique, provider independent /48 or larger... which folks could start to announce. But I guess that address space would come from blocks earmarked as "non-routable, it's a bogon, bad IP space, filter in BGP at first sight!". :-)
You know, if you describe it that way too many times, people who are only paying half-attention are going to say "IPv6 has something almost like NAT, only different".
you know... shim6 could make 'source address' pointless, you COULD just do NAT instead :) or do shim6 which looks like NAT ... if you don't get the host auth parts correct/done-well you might even be able to send traffic off to the 'wrong' place :) it'll be neat!
