It seems your idea is based on global IP addressing. What I have in mind is to get rid of global addressing.
Yes, I gathered that, but it's unnecessary AFAICT.
So, IDR routers look only at AS numbers, not at IP addresses which bears no meaning in IDR.
Sure, but why? :) What problem are you trying to address? If you're trying to force aggregation by AS, then why not use an IPv6 prefix that embeds the ASN? Basically, the underlying forwarding technology isn't the problem - the problem is finding a good way to apply some higher-level structure to it.
IPv6 almost certainly has the room to accomodate any reasonable addressing structure that can't fit with IPv4. If you're proposing a solution that requires all forwarding infrastructure to be upgraded, it'll have to have amazing benefits, and be impossible to layer onto IP.
Also you need to consider "Why do we currently have ASes that originate multiple disparate prefixes?".
