offhand, perpaps

- for a server you might want manually configure nice "prefix::1"
  address in addition to the automaticly generated id (or even many
  id's you have webserver: id=1, mailserver: id=2, etc.). Now,
  depening on needs, you can designate any host as server by adding
  the servers "locally-well-known-id" to a host (and removing it from
  another).

- privacy draft (3041?) didn't exactly call for generation of id only,
  but it could be done that way too (just generate random id's to be
  used).

In my case, yes.
