This was done once before, it was called MAPS at the time. Using BGP as a signaling mechanic for this stuff can obviously be useful. The challenge has always been balancing the trust with a 3rd party with the other operational requirements.
It's only useful if you want to make troubleshooting problems more difficult and require remote parties to contact you off-net. Conditionals for such blocks are more difficult (abuse@domain whitelisted isn't enough, you have to have a specific @domain which the filters don't apply to). I agree that smaller networks are the ones more likely to participate in such things. Jack
