Couldn't we just have the libraries that display the address use ASCII
instead of hex?  That way a 64 bit interface address could represent an
arbitrary 8 char string.  

eg 2001:db9:4865:6c6c:6f20:576f:726c:6421=> 2001:db9:"Hello World!"

Careful Narelle,

Otherwise soon there will be a proposal for IPv8 which includes support for
all of the missing english and non-english characters.

Yikes!

Cheers
