(#knryyga) So really your argument is just that switching to a location-based addressing “just makes sense”. Why? Without concrete pros/cons of each approach this isn’t really a strong argument I’m afraid. In fact I probably need to just sit down and detail the properties of both approaches and the pros/cons of both.

I also don’t really buy the argument of simplicity either personally, because I don’t technically see it much more difficult to take a echo -e "<url>\t<timestamp>\t<content>" | sha256sum | base64 as the Twt Subject or concatenating the <url> <timestamp> – The “effort” is the same. If we’re going to argue that SHA256 or cryptographic hashes are “too complicated” then I’m not really sure how to support that argument.
