Actually, I was summarizing/paraphrasing one of the axes why nobody  
wants to change.

Geo-addressing would be lovely if you could constrain the network  
topology and hence the business relationships to implement it.  Since  
we have been unable to implement such constraints, it follows that  
this sort of change is not what people want.

Only in the least interesting way.  What is more interesting is how  
you'd go about actually implementing it without changing all the  
existing business relationships and models that currently exist.  As  
soon as you can come up with a plausible way of implementing this sort  
of change, I suspect you'd get a bit more traction.
