I personally have a hard time seeing why you think this.  I think it
would be very good for communities, for example, if you could send email
to your neighbors by their street address, or set up mailing lists for
everyone in your block or neighborhood.  How is this antithetical to the
"spirit of universality"?  -- Nathaniel
