Hmm... same subnet...
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.
I am capable of putting /32s in my network an announcing the aggregate. We did this at Priori, Michael. Justin programmed each loopback as a /32 out of the same /24, so we had x.x.x.1 on the west coast and x.x.x.2 on the east coast, but still only announced the /18.
