2914 permit you to leak prefixes as specific as a /28 between your own

I suppose some arrangement between you and your provider is alright. But since I (and I'm guessing, several other) operators that purchase from NTT will not accept anything longer than a /24 from them, it only serves internal forwarding within NTT for their customers that leak /25's or longer into them.

I was wondering why we haven't seen this take off in the global DFZ :-).
