Your post advocates a

(X) technical ( ) legislative (X) market-based ( ) vigilante

approach to fighting spam^H^H^H^H route deaggregation. Your idea will
not work. Here is why it won't work. 
...

There's actually no new technology involved, and you're overlooking the fact 
that there already _is_ market operating when it comes to routing table slots - 
try asking your ISP if they'll accept and propagate more specifics and your
answer is going based on imputed worth to them as a customer...  you just 
have no visibility into their assessment of your value, nor any way to make
the judgement yourself and pay accordingly.
