Hi Bill,
I don't fully understand the math yet but the algorithm doesn't smell right. As near as I can figure it may only be correct in a static system. If after convergence the disaggregate ceases to be reachable from the aggregate, there doesn't appear to be either enough information in the system or enough triggers traveling between routers for it to reconverge to a correct state.
If a network announces an aggregate when they can't reach all more-specifics then things will already be broken. Don't announce address space that you can't handle traffic for... But true: without Dragon the more specific would still arrive via another path and it would still be reachable. Cheers, Sander
