Of course it depends on the ISP. It's all about growing a bush tall and
wide, not too tall, not too wide.
Depends on how much summarization you can do with your address space,
how regionalized their address space is, If they have been lucky enough
to de-aggregate supernets, and keep aside subnets for IGP only, and
carry all customer routes in iBGP... (I know people who feel it's good
to carry all their *customer* routes & transfernets in their IGP!)
What if they're old and confederated? or they have a complex
Route-Reflecting hierarchy... what their policy is on customer address
space portability. Can I-customer take my /29 from Pittsburgh to
California? Can I take it from Toronto East to Toronto West?

The way I see it adding more policy statements to the BGP
configuration has it's own drawbacks as well.
I'm intimately familiar with the network of one of the largest
international ISPs and they inject the Inter-AS prefixes into their
IGP and are happy with it.
Of course this doesn't mean it's right, but I really don't think it
creates such a big problem.

I agree, this is 'hotly debated' :).. Those who argue
against having transfer networks in IGP believe the IGP
should be kept 'lean', only loopbacks and internal
transfernets to keep the SPF database as small as
possible. If you have a large backbone with hundreds of
upstream/downstream/peering ports and you try to keep all
those transfernets in your IGP, you will eventually start
to feel the bloat.
I'm for this. Keep the IGP for your space alone.
Setting the NEXT_HOP self attribute on all iBGP routers in
the network is recommended practice, across the board.
Cheers,
Mark.
