OK, I see where you're coming from.  Sorry if I overreacted - it just
sounded insane to take the two worst kludges of IPv4 and put them
together.  (In fact, it still seems pretty wierd to me...)

In this situation, I'd like to see you allocated a block of "MLB-WIRELESS"
space for you to use on your systems.

A very important point.  I think IPSEC is going to be an important
component of this, at least because it provides a reasonable means of
authenticating traffic.
