IPv8 is nothing more than a re-organized 16-bit IPv4 packet. It's almost 
identical to tunnelling IPv6 packets through IPv4 to get IPv6 to actually 
work. IPv16 only came about when we informed Jim that he'd already run out 
of space in IPv8. But that's what you get when you stick those ex-Bell Labs 
people on the job. >;^p

It's totally amazing the prejudices and grudges that the IETF insiders hold 
against anyone who deviates from the party line.
