I think that we strongly need to distinguish between addresses used as 
locators and addresses used as identifiers. Users will probably want to 
keep the same identifier, but they don't care about the locators.

Today, most end users received their IP address (which serves as both 
locator and identifier) through DHCP. They don't need to keep the same 
IP address always and some ISPs that are charging premium for 'static' 
IP addresses make sure that DHCP assigned addresses change every few 
days. End users who are willing to have stable "identifiers" today rely 
on the DNS, either by coupling the DNS server with the DHCP server or by 
using services such as dyndns. Endusers don't care about portability of 
addresses, most of the time, they don't see the IP addresses.
