This is how we have learned what is a bad idea... and it is now 
documented in the guidelines.

Use of the top 8 bits in pointers caused headaches for the 68k machines 
when they needed more than 16 MB of addressing. Amongst other things.

The undocumented features of the 6502 is now being maintained in 
modernized versions... maybe a better choice in design could be made.

Cheers,
