perhaps we would be able to find even more cases, but without explicitely

the completeness of a marginal-error-catalogue holding right.

Actually, in the more modern world of wi-fi phones roaming on access points, this is
becoming more and more common. It's best to probably plan for the future when this
will be more commonplace rather than just dismiss it, as it will almost certainly come
back to bite us later.
Well the debate is about the implication on amount of state in proxy servers.
If, using transaction state, a server keeps sending stuff to a location which
is unregistered in the meantime, that's not ideal either, is it.
My point is not denying existence of location changes, my point is that I don't
see how being trasaction-stateful makes life with it better (from which I conlude
that stateless proxy servers are perfectly legitimate, if not "just useful").
