Anybody can aggregate anything he wants to in his own network.  0.0.0.0/0 
is a very effective aggregate, however it generally results in sub-optimal 
routing when diverse egress paths are available.

Based on how the policy reads all micro-allocations will be made from a 
distinct block of address space.
