Joel,

Imagine I get IPv4 /28 block or IPv6 /64 block of address space.

Isn't it my own business how I map and to what I map my non globally
routable last bits of such address ?

Does anyone care - specifically would IETF have right to care - if one /32
or /128 address is used in my house to turn on the AC or coffee machine and
some other to turn it off ?

Those would be my embedded functions in IPv4 or IPv6 addresses. Of course
there is tons of other ways to achieve such functions but those are just
examples for illustration purposes.

Cheers,
R.
