Oliver,

While that's a laudable goal, I doubt its attainable.

Renumbering problems break down into two general groups:

1. Problems which are within the administrative control of the
renumbering network.
2. Problems which are outside the administrative control of the
renumbering network.

Group #2 issues (like antispam filters and faulty DNS caching) is
where renumbering falls apart: you can control what you do and when,
but you can't control what everybody else does.

Regards,
Bill Herrin
