generally, people don't like that. integers between 0 and 2**32 being a
limited supply (like big eyed beans from Venus, oh my oh my) tends towards
not wanting 'just do it' as a deployment engine. but hey, please feel free
to advise your customers to simply walk the number-space until they stop getting
ping responses, and use the address. I'm sure the upstream ISPs will love it.

(did you know swiss telecom routinely announce random /8? They've been accepting
 61/8 for some time now, despite it being an AP region allocation block.. oh,
 you have to love those chocolate gnomes.)

Oh, I've been in several. Generally I get rolled. But then, I get rolled
in the meetings with non-Japanese people too. 

You know, having read 'Eats Shoots and Leaves' I can't say I miss either
the apostrophe/colon opportunities unused here, or for that matter the ligatures.

be honest: when was the last time you actually needed that kerning? nroff
just works.
