I wasn't talking about network access control - I was talking about ingress 
filtering. 
While e.g. an ISP/subscriber relationship might have some network access
control that isn't the only place ingress filtering might need to be done.

Yes I do, but I don't trust the whole edge around the whole Internet.
There probably exists at least one ISP on the planet that will
allow any source address in the packets sent by their subscribers.

Thus it needs to be possible to ingress filtering at other places than
just the ISP/subscriber boundary.

Sorry, wrog subject. We were talking about ingress filtering and
not network access control I think :-)
