I make no comment on the draft, but whilst what you say is currently true, the 
state of world politics seem to make the current decoupling of the various 
topologies that we enjoy at the moment less likely to continue than was the 
case a few years back.

The political actions of governments trumps (if you excuse the unfortunate pun) 
the preferences of the engineers and accountants.

ITU-T SG2 (numbering) has a list of Middle East cases of traffic routing issues 
based on politics, the EU GDPR rules, the developing countries' concern over 
traffic patterns, the actions of the current US administration, all take us in 
the direction of the application of geo and political considerations to traffic 
routing.

Regrettably, the writing is on the wall for restrictions to become normalised 
and built into the traffic planning rules, and that will push them into the 
routing system.
