Doesn't this presuppose that the community ends up making some action
happen by default? the draft skips talking about default-action (vendor
enforced action), and I think leaves the implementation up to the
provider/operator.

So... in the end your providerX may accept BLACKHOLE and 'blackhole' or
they may just 'drop on output port'.  While providerY may not do anything
with BLACKHOLE, just because they don't believe in that sort of magic.

This is the same situation as we have today: "I sent 7018:666, nothing
happened?" "Oh! you forgot to do the setup-dance with 7018..."
(s/7018/ANY/).
