I think that the use of an ip address as a [[vocative]] is not a good practice.
If you don't know the name of a person, you may use a friendly noun, like "Hi
my friend" or so, not a number. (I'm not a English speaker, so excuse me for a
better example)

{{SPACEUSER}} is suggested to be a users-specific function, capable to detect
registered user names. If it is considered unnecessary, I still can reopen bug
30569 and insist in adding it as a special parameter to gender function:
{{gender:#spaceuser|male form|female form}}
