I'm not insulting your software :-) When addresses change, you have all the problems of propagation delay and security for updates. So, even if x.example.com is stable in the sense of always referring to the same functional entity, you can't assume that it always resolves to a currently valid locator for that entity, in a world where locators vary. If we achieve stable locators, this problem largely goes away, but stable names in themselves are insufficient IMHO.
