I would suggest looking at the design of HTTP, which is pretty similar to the "send-to-address" pattern we are discussing. HTTP is successful because it doesn't try to reinvent the wheel. It uses DNS to resolve the name of the site rather than managing a global namespace of its own. Then it uses IP (via TCP) to route the message to the destination. It's not concerned with nodes in the middle. It treats the connection to the host as a single hop, leaving the details of routing over the Internet to L3.
