Maybe we should move the EID argument to a "Strong ES models for IPv6" mailing
list. Also, there is already a full blown EID based soluction for IPv6, whose
base architecture document was recently published as an RFC:

RFC 1992  I   I. Castineyra, J. Chiappa, M. Steenstrup, "The Nimrod Routing  
              Architecture", 08/30/1996. (Pages=27) (Format=.txt) 

All in all, we can say the market as nothing to fear... At least not lack
of proposals, for sure.
