We're talking APS protection switching.  There is no LAN here that you
could run HSRP on.

As for Jim's orignal question: I've never done POS APS, but I'd think
it *should* work.  If the interface is properly downed when the circuit is
not active, and "up/up" when it's active, I can't see a specific reason
why using the same set of IP addresses shouldn't work.

It certainly would work that way if you have "manual failover" (two serial
interfaces on two neighbouring routers, configured identically, and you
move the WAN line from one to the other).
