This sounds similar to an idea I raised some months ago; inter-domain routing based on AS numbers.
Note that you can organise routing around AS numbers and so reduce routing state requirements perhaps without having to change IP forwarding. I.e. you can compute paths on an AS-based topology, and then compute IP routes based on which ASes terminate which prefixes. As the association of IP prefix:AS is a lot more static than the topology, you could reduce the amount of information that had to be passed around.
There's still a lot of details and problems you'd have to work out though.
