Many of us are actually thinking about how to get the IP stack on these devices.
The IAB had a workshop in 2011 on smart objects and the report can be found here: http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6574 We then had a workshop specifically dedicated to security in 2012: http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-gilger-smart-object-security-workshop-02 (pending publication as an RFC). There is even an IAB document in development that touches this topic: http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-iab-smart-object-architecture-03 (Comments welcome) [Recent comments indicated that there is a desire to talk more about IPv6, and the transition mechanisms. Great that we worked on so many -- will for sure make it easier to fit them all on these devices.] As you know, we even have the IETF LWIG group that discusses these issues. If you look at recent events, like the Internet census http://internetcensus2012.bitbucket.org/paper.html, then it should be clear that even "small device" need security since otherwise we are building the next generation botnet. This would not be good (tm).
