That will choose a common TLA (ISP) which is good, but failing
(which will happen often) that it will choose a common registry
(i.e. continent), and this is usually either meaningless or
sub-optimal (especially outside North America).

If we have a BGP RIB, we should be able to do better at picking
both destination and and source addresses, no?

And if we can do better w/o using portable address space, we can
keep multihomed sites from cluttering the no default zone with
portable address space.
