Sounds like a COIN to me.
Sounds like *PROPER* application of a NCN to me.

ISP gets significant revenue, and significant lock in.
Sounds like a win for the ISP.  Said ISP could have used PA space too.

Why should we have a address allocation policy preventing ISPs and
customers from having this routing policy behind closed doors?

It's not a pool. It's a VAST OCEAN.  It's nice environmentalism to
realize that even the oceans are not infinite,  but it's not ARINs place.

What you describe is a ROUTING POLICY.

This concern over theoretical situations that have occured in IPv4-land
only due to significant scarcity and only reported in "heresay" (due to
NDA, etc.) are preventing deployment of IPv6 by many smaller, more
innovative enterprises.
