Re-read what I wrote above. Give them globals with the same (or better)
level of stability as their private addresses.

So how exactly do they hang onto non-portable global addresses they got from
an ISP when they switch to another IPS?

Really? What happened to all those wonderful new applications that depend
on eliminating private address space? You are saying that people will go
on using private address space even if they have suitable globals? I guess
that implies that they didn't really want those new applications after all...
