That's what Martin Presler-Marshall thought too, so he (successfully)
advocated truncating the last 8-bits from a v4 addr as providing real
end-point identifier protection in P3P.

I didn't share his certainty that a /24 with traffic analysis, transactional
history, state, and any other bell or whistle provided end-point identifier
protection.

The consensus in the P3P Spec WG went with the simple we're-still-classfull
approach.

You could prevail here that multiples (ambiguity) can't happen, for any
technology deployed.

I'm still sort of partial to Resnick's 1962 masters thesis however.

Granted, no one is actually targeting anything here more noxious than spam,
but ...
