Some people are encoding IP addresses inside smartcards and similar electronic devices. There are all sorts of schemes out there such as devices that user their hardcoded IP address to send packets and network gateways use routing rules to decide whether to forward or drop the traffic.
Fact is that if you want a GLOBALLY UNIQUE IP address, then IPv6 is the ONLY way to get one. It has been over 20 years since IPv4 addresses ceased to be globally unique.

Just as any yahoo can choose to manually assign the IPv4 address assigned to my border router to a machine on his internal network, he can choose to do the same thing with its IPv6 address. My border router has a globally unique IPv4 address and a globally unique IPv6 address, inasmuch as any IP address in globally-routable space can be globally unique.
