<128 bits can address, um, 10**38 bytes, which might conceivably be useful for a shared universal address space or capability based machines or something.>

The idea that we will ever need 128-bit byte addressing is preposterous. There are only about 10**42 atoms in the universe. Such computer can't be constructed.

128-bit IP addressing is a different story. The spammers would love to send junk e-mail to every single atom in the universe.
