The problem with only a default:  Think when a rogue ISP 
decides to advertise an unused netblock and utilize that IP 
space for malicious purposes.  A route exists... do we trust it?
But that kinda filtering should be done at BGP route ingress by, you, or the
transit provider of choice.

I'm not suggesting that a default is the only way.  It just happens to be a
good lazy way for the people who can't seem to find the time to check the
IANA web page at least once a quarter.. :).

Regards,
Mark
