Seems it makes sense.
If we look back how OSI defines NSAP address intended to be used in CLNP protocol (part of OSI protocol stacks), the maximum length of address is 20 bytes (160 bit), and this addressing scheme was standardized in 80's and were and still being used in some systems.
After 20 years, a lot of changes in the internetworking. Just imagine, how many cellphones are deployed around the world? Now we have to count the number of phones, appliances. computers, PDAs. and other embedded systems. It might have reached billions of them.
If people want to assign a unique IP address for each one of these, that seems make sense to get a 'very-large IP adddress'ing'
