If I am reading this correctly, in the end this is riven by the fact
that existing boxes can easily filter on addresses (although it will
take a lot of filters), but can not apply ACLs to DSCPs or extension
headers?
It seems like what we need is a draft that clearly explains why trying
to shoehorn this information into the address is a bad idea, rather than
trying to defend the choice.
(Your emails seem to vary between the two stances.)
Yours,
Joel

I have to say the hierarchical assignment is a such great way to waste
