I remember Sean Doran ranting about how IPv6 should have used variable-length addressing when visiting once, and it set me thinking. If every end point has an unlimited address space, you can give a part of it to every service, eliminating port numbers. Each service can divide up still further if it needs to.
Still there would be a lot of issues to sort out - routing especially gives me the shivers - and obviously if you start your manifesto by saying you're going to abolish IPv4 and v6 in favour of something better, it's probably time to take your medication and go to bed...
