What would a new standard do that would make it more popular? IPv6, for all its faults, is designed to be the last Internet Protocol we will ever need.

In the new standard every publicly routable packet will include a cryptographically signed passport number of the responsible person.

Then the government could, for example, limit criminals' access to the internet by mandating that their packets be dropped on most major ISPs, or at least deprioritised.
