I'm going to be devil's advocate here:

*I* always use the even address as the bottom one of the pair.

Is there anything mandating that that has to be the case?

Oh.. You're lacking imagination ! You could push that one just a tad further !

1) Use non consecutive pairs (Read=0a00, Write=0a10)
2) Reverse the order (Read=0a01, Write=0a00)
3) Set the pair on different channels (Read=0a00, Write=0b00)
4) Set the pair on different LCSS (Read=0:0a00, Write=1:0a00)
5) What you said : start with even (Read=0a01, Write=0a02)
6) Really wicked ! All of the above ! (Read=1:0b11, Write = 0:0a00)

But eventually, to make it work in a hot plug environment, you're going to have to set some rules if you want the hotplug system to figure out the relationship on its own (A: I'm doing something weird and it doesn't work.. B: Don't do something weird) !
