I guess this is not really what you mean. aggregation is essential to
provide scalability of the routing system, as your draft about ISP
multi-homing explains (sort of)

Well i guess that the question then is it is worth it...
If the table is very aggregated, you don't really have much information
If it is not, the amount of information is huge and it is very expensive for
a host to store it
And all this effort, just for a hint.
You will need another mechanism that actually detects and define which
address to use, so why don't you just use it in the first place?
