Why don't you simply make this a requirement? I have heard many times that issue about the convexity although I don't remember opposition to coupling the site boundaries with the AS or routing area. This is the way I would do it anyway. I understand that we should not put restrictions when there is no need for them, but if putting a restriction allows something to work there is nothing wrong with it.
