And just for the record, despite having been bitten by it more than 
once, I'm very much in the camp of "if you advertise a covering 
aggregate, you're offering to get packets there, regardless of whether or 
not more specifics exist."  You have no business demanding what routes 
someone else's network receives/accepts.  All you can reasonably control 
is what you advertise and what you accept.
 
This. People will come up with all sorts of creative 
topologies, and as long as they are *internal* that's
A-OK. The distance outside of one's AS one can expect
"interesting" TE to travel is equivalent to the reach
of your $s and/or contracts.

Cheers,
