Well, can't we just return "object called 'default' already exists". That way *address object* names are truly unique to the interface. In other words the namespace is specific to that interface. Further if we don't return 'error' above, then to disambiguate the name "default" in ipadm set-addrprop, we should start accepting '-f' option. ~Girish
