does a name really have any meaning without a service associated with it? URLs have meaning (rfc1738). It's going to be tough to know when your browser (connecting from off-net) can cache http://myphone.building1.isp1.com or not. Cookie handling too (keyed on URL, which is hard linked to hostname, which will change when the phone moves to http://myphone.building2.isp1.com).
Allow me to poke at that assumption: why should we expect that the name (assuming there's only one, which is a bad assumption IMO), changes instead of the address record(s)? If I travel around with my toothbrush, shouldn't I expect it to remain named "mikestoothbrush.mtcc.com"? Perhaps it may update a local dns to "mikestoothbrush.1027.holidayinn.com" too, but if I really want to replenish its digital toothpaste, I'd almost certainly surf to https://mikestoothbrush.mtcc.com to make certain I'm not being tricked into resupplying ot.1027.holidayinn.com's toothbrush.
