So under this proposal, with my APRS-UDP-enabled cellphone client 
configured for my "home" digipeater, when I travel across the continent 
all of my posits will traverse the Internet and come out via my home 
stomping ground's RF and I'm still not heard in my "local" area when 
travelling?

Unless, of course, I reconfigure the digipeater I'm using to a local one...

And then when I return home having forgotten my re-configuration, my 
packets will be burping out on someone else's RF even though I'm no 
longer anywhere near there?

Or did I completely misunderstand how this new APRS-IS-replacement 
network would function?
