I would like everyone to keep in mind that the "botnet clients" or
malicious traffic does not need to originate from LISP sites.  A
motivated attacker will send crafted packets directly to the Internet
with a LISP outer-header and false source address in the inner-header.
 I am not sure it is even relevant if the malicious site(s) are
subject to BCP-38/uRPF/etc by their service provider.

I think we are all on the same page now.  I'm glad the discussion has
moved from one where it was thought that only super-huge content sites
would need to address this scaling problem, to folks agreeing that
every mission-critical site must do so.
