I'm trying to place my finger on it too but I feel an itch in the back of my brain that says "This is important and can be used for the core of something really amazing"

Isn't this a similar concept to Tor addresses without the onion routing being part of it?

in Tor servers are one IP and one public key, so yeah you can't talk to that ip if they change their public key. It's closely related. But this is because someone is giving you a table of that ip <-> public key association. If an attacker change the public key of an ip in that table then... That's why OP's idea is stronger.
