I guess you can take that up with that Japanese cab company.

Yeah, I don't discount those nightmarish aspects. A lot about these "everything has an IP" schemes are nightmarish. Does that mean they won't be done? I don't know. Does it mean some of them, at least, aren't worth doing? I'd say they are, and if IPv6 makes them more doable (even if just by the virtue of existing), great.
