Here I go being silly again, but how about people take responsability for their own networks and filter properly at their borders? All this talk of how to enforce things is pretty meaningless when you have countless members of NANOG itself half-assing their own networks and complaining about other people's.

It would immediately inflate the route table to its maximum size if the registries announced every possible delegation. It is similar to the problem with people hijacking addresses. Unless you tie it to filters which ignore prefix announcements longer than the "authorized" allocation size. Which brings us back to the start of this thread. If AS1239 and others contributed and used something like the IRR to filter announcements, the problem is simplier.
