Doing IP configuration down in the link layer rather than in a single uniform way in the Internet layer would require hosts to implement a different configuration mechanism for each link type. As hosts become increasingly multi-homed, this could lead to interoperability problems, code bloat, and slow handoffs. Since this question keeps coming up again and again, perhaps we need a document describing the basic principles.
