"A *block* of addresses... to experiment with....by reversing
the order of same? By changing 1s to 0s to see what happens?
Man, that'll be intriguing.... directional addresses? Loops of
addresses? LF, VLF addresses?

I don't see it. Sure, there are some applications that require *new*
but for the same reason that you don't use an Escalade  to haul hay
across the field to the highway, or a Kenworth to go duck hunting,
you don't EVER want to completely dispense with the "old" technologies.
