Perhaps obvious, but note that we can easily have a system that
allows for both kinds of routing.
Prefix a -> Routed with reference to some external, universally
understood space
Prefix b -> Routed without reference to any such space
If it is the case that geographic routing could "factor out" a
sizable proportion of routes, then that's surely worth investigating?
To allow the fact that such a system can not be used to aggregate
/all/ routes to stymie its consideration completely is perhaps
short-sighted.
More generally, if we have a number of different routing problems to
solve, and if we are having trouble finding The One Way that solves
them all, perhaps then we need to consider building a system composed
of multiple different ways.
Wrt geographic routing: The ITU proposals to delegate to and assign
IPv6 address space via per-country, statutory bodies could be a
vehicle for such. Course, there is some opposition in places to the
very idea of allowing delegation via ITU..
