Which is worse than announcing just the more specifics to 2 different
transit providers in 2 different cities.

Technically sound, economically stupid. You offering to pony up the
$5K/mth for an OC3 so I can have a redundant link between Ottawa and
Toronto?
Besides the technical aspects of my network, I didn't see any proof that
relaxed prefix filtering (and no I'm not saying accept /32's - the more
specifics I got Verio to accept were /23's) would cause significant
(i.e. >30%) routing table bloat when that was recently discussed.
