The general objection (apart from incorrect assumptions based on old incomplete work) is that network topology and geography don't correlate. My counter-objection is that the correlation doesn't have to be 1 to be able to take advantage of it when it's present.
On the other hand, unless you have some way to *enforce* a higher correlation than we already have, how do you propose to get a better result than we currently (mostly accidentally) get via CIDR aggregation? For instance, 212.x.y.z is "known" to be on one continent, and so on - but how do you leverage that into a 212/8 routing entry?
