That has some on-the-wire implications, as I read it.
There is also this effort:..damn... it was presented at RIPE last year, but I
can't find it.

It not that it is so hard to do, it's that it takes some perserverance to get
it upstreamed into all sorts of desktop OSs, embedded OSs, and to patch the
API into the dozens of tools that need it.

I think it's a 7-10 year duration effort, requiring 1/3 FTE.
