By the way, I am not very fond of the MAC-address method. If we are into
misusing other registries, we could turn a phone number into hexadecimal
(including the international prefix.) 12 digits can be stored in 40
bit...
It's not that dumb an idea, it reminds me of
base-85 (RFC-1924) IPv6 addressing notation.
It certainly does solve the uniqueness issue
for any given instant. What happens if you
're-number' your telephone?
