However, as you said, no ISP, which has to follow rules and regulations in the
western world allows spoofing of or even routing of the 127/8 net.

1) There's no law or regulation that *requires* an ISP to not route 127/8.

2) The *source* of the packet was 127.0.0.1, and routing is done on the *destination*.

3) An amazing number of ISPs do *not* do proper ingress/egress filtering.
