Fortunately, only the network administrator HAS to deal with the multiple prefixes, setting up one per provider.  After that, everything within the network can be automated.

Absolutely true.  But then it might require application changes, which we'd like to avoid.  It would also not be intrinsic in the architecture.

Doubts are healthy, and we learn more by doing.
