I've taken out ticket #1132 to cover this specific issue, rather than the 
more generic #1047 ticket. They're linked in the tracker.

Result:

> YES - IP addresses should be allowed as path-identity.
John Stanley
Charles Lindsey

> NO - IP addresses should not be allowed as path-identity.
Richard Clayton
Russ Allbery
Frank Ellermann
Dan Schlitt
