This story may be a lot closer to reality in 2011 than you seem able to accept. It's a mere illusion given limitations in current (2005) routing-protocols, but those protocols may also be nothing more than a distant memory by 2011.
- which prefix
Why shouldn't it be his own?
- where did you get the prefix
Maybe it's assigned to him?
- who says you are you and thus that you are allowed to use that prefix (someone has a working PKI available? :)
The allocating entity should be able to authorise that
- routing table size?
Who says everybody has to know about everybody else all the time. Maybe it's enough to know where to go when you need to get there. (more in other thread).
- is the other end of the possible communication going to be able to reach this prefix?
ditto
- will everybody accept you as being the endpoint?
Why not. As long as it is unique.
- what about a broken prefix 'upstream' (you just said your primary link goes down, thus it might be a misconfig 'upstream')
Yeah. There will probably be many failure modes in future networks too.
- insert various other "2011" stories...
... and get some vision about the future. Don't assume the world will stop. //Per
