I am not sure how this will work with the widespread use of dynamic IP
addressing as Gary described. I would assume that unique hardware addresses
will still be needed.
Why do you continue on the tangent that a unique hardware address in the IP
space is required to identify a device? This is completely nonsensical.
Please stop.

Social Security numbers?
Wait until you are issued your own Government-sponsored implanted RFID tag.
Until then, use PKI, smartcards, your Intel Pentium ID, or any other
tamper-proof device or cryptographic algorithm to target receivers.
