Don't worry, according to Neulevel
<http://gnso.icann.org/mailing-lists/archives/council/msg00082.html and
http://www.byte.org/blog/_archives/2003/9/16/2958.html>, application
developers can just update their software to take the new behavior into
account.
And while they're doing that, I was hoping that ARIN and the other ASO's
might figure out a way to point me in the right direction when I type in
a non-existent IP address...this could be very helpful.
...and maybe IANA could do figure out some wildcarding of their own -
damn pesky port numbers - can never keep those straight either.
