Quick question - if we could somehow fix the routing problem, would you
be in favor of the now abandoned proposal?  I agree that the routing
problem is serious and a major concern for any proposal that allows,
frankly, any space to be allocated.  

I think the concerns you've raised besides the routing table issues
have been addressed by Owen, so I won't echo those thoughts.
