One of the things I was looking forward to from IPv6 was the mobility of IPs [1].

I think the idea of mobile IP is fundamentally flawed and I'm not surprised it didn't catch on. The whole point of IP addresses is to be a hierarchical address describing a location in the network. Once you can move IPs, they become completely meaningless. Mobile IP proposals just hack around this by running everything through a glorified VPN.
