Not a bad idea, but... First, as some people have pointed out, there are things like 'traffic engineering being done with injection of more-specifics' to deal with.
More specifics, in the sense of discontinuous ASes, are easy to deal with. You allow for ASes to have sub-entitities, e.g. AS X, X:1, X:2, etc.. where the :Y part can be defined at will by the AS X administrator. This is of course only worth doing if these "topologically continuous" entities tend to advertise more than 1 prefix.
My memory of ISO CLNx and IS-IS is very vague, but I think it's got some kind of similar mechanism.
I think that's one of the easiest problems though, if trying to go down this path.
