Is this the general opinion ?

Personaly i believe our present aproach is superior since it does not
require any registry...

And simply swaping 010 with 001 and moving the reserved fields around will
give us the new address format from rfc 1897.

present format:

   | 3 |  5 bits  |  16 bits | 8 |   24 bits  | 8 | 16 bits|48 bits|
   +---+----------+----------+---+------------+---+--------+-------+
   |   |          |Autonomous|   |    IPv4    |   | Subnet | Intf. |
   |010|  11111   |  System  |RES|   Network  |RES|        |       |
   |   |          |  Number  |   |   Address  |   | Address|  ID   |
   +---+----------+----------+---+------------+---+--------+-------+

my proposal:

   | 3 |  5 bits  |  16 bits |   24 bits  | 16 bits| 64 bits   |
   +---+----------+----------+------------+--------+-----------+
   |   |          |Autonomous|    IPv4    | Subnet |           |
   |001|  11111   |  System  |   Network  |        |           |
   |   |          |  Number  |   Address  | Address|    EID    |
   +---+----------+----------+------------+--------+-----------+
