Why should that matter?
I operate on the premise that property belongs to the owner until such time as the owner relinquishes control of it (sale, gift, heirs, etc).

So okay, treat IP as PP, but in doing so make IP as much like PP for the owner as we can. Which means it will decay and cease to exist. Land being a slight exception, since it doesn't decay but certain natural events can make it essentially worthless for anything including living on.
