Always wondered how naming is relevant, for example, IPv6 with OnionCat as a deterministic form of naming. So now we propose a 'naming' layer. Which should not also support IPv6 addressing? Is not IPv6, subsequent to the 80bit scheme, merely a name on top of onions? ie: If we develop a 'naming' layer, can we not develop an IPv6 layer?

What do you mean by "develop an IPv6 layer"? A naming layer would provide human-memorable names; IPv6 addresses are not supposed to be human memorable.
