Interesting.  Are you doing this?  Planning it?  Or at least researching
how well it would work?

Don't they do this already?

If you get something practical implemented on this topic, we'd be more
than pleased to see it show up on bcp38.info; exchange points are the
one major construct I hadn't included there, cause I didn't think it was
actually practical to do it there.  But then, I don't run one.
