Michael, you should know better than that. I do not see a subnet mask on these IP addresses. There is nothing stopping a Network Operator from making these /32s and putting them on different networks.

Nothing except community consensus that it is a *BAD* thing to pollute the global routing table with lots of long prefixes.

Um, the point is that they're advertised *internally* as /32, and *externally* as part of their larger aggregate. There's no need to announce the addresses as /32s externally to have this scheme work. We're using this at my place of employ already, and it works quite nicely.
