I don't think we need to solve the global routing problem for PI addresses to be beneficial. PI addresses are extremely useful even if they can only be routed by private agreement between networks. Trying to make PI addresses be suitable for global routing as a pre-condition for having PI addresses strikes me as self-defeating. It's nice if it works out that way, but it should not be considered a necessary condition. My fear is that trying to solve that problem will delay PIs enough that we'll be stuck with site locals.
