One of the thoughts that we had for IDRP for IPv6 was that the domain
identifiers (aka big AS numbers) should be easier to manage.  To do that,
we thought that taking an IPv6 address from your assigned prefix would be
sufficient.  This effectively eliminates administration of a number space.

I'd strongly recommend that if folks wanna "fix" the AS number problem that
they consider this solution (or something similar).
