Do I take it that you'd want to advertise more specifics based on some 
geography in some regions?

This begs two questions (for which I have some answers of my own, but I'd 
like to hear yours):

 1) why not advertise just the one /32 everywhere?

 2) would those more specifics be scoped tightly to a routing point (that 
is, could one assume, that it might be possible to negotiate a special 
pass-through for the local affected ISP's for the more specific)?
