If we had routing registries that were accurate and authoritative, then soBGP/S-BGP would have something to verify a route change against. It should not matter if last Friday's event was a leak or a false announcement - with some sort of verification system we could mitigate errors, intentional or accidental.

Yep, soBGP or S-BGP could have prevented this. But that seems to be a bridge too far right now. This seems to have been a route leak from AS9318, not a false origin announcement, so not sure if soBGP or s-BGP would help here.
