I've been wondering for a while if it is possible (with reasonable

No, it's not. :-)
FWIW, a while back I prototyped an "in tree" solution for
SocketChannel. The primary motive was to allow for Sockets Direct
Protocol (which uses IP addressing) and Unix Domain Sockets (which
required a new SocketAddress type).
I disagree here. Just because C has traditionally used struct sockaddr
in an overloaded fashion doesn't mean it's a good idea to mirror this on
the Java side.
Sorry David, I'm sure what you mean here. Can you please clarify.
