According to your algorithm, the nodes outside a block should opportunistically aggregate any routes it can for that block.
No, aggregation is local to an AS.
Then you only perform aggregation in origin-only ASes (like A, D, E and H in the diagram) and don't attempt to aggregate in the others?
No, of course not. Aggregation in origin-only ASes is not the main issue, because those ASes don't necessarily have to run default-free.
The point is aggregation in the tier-1 service provider networks where default routes can't be used.
