I was with you until "so that IP addresses finally can represent identity".

You don't mean actual (personal/account) identity, do you? IP addresses represent a location for delivery and they definitely identify a network interface, but that's the extent of goals for IP addressing. Courts have supported this view and I think that's a good thing. Sorry if I read too much into what you said. EDIT: spelling.
