Kent,
1] Then you've got to keep some pretty massive (and immediately out of
date) tables, and it's not even clear if you can assemble the necessary
information as to who is and is not allowed on the backbone.
2] If you take and prefer routes from NSFNET then you'll use that
network for the default case WRT commercial traffic.

1) Either don't use default in any regional router or point regional
defaults at some authoritative router(s) and don't use a default in the
authoritative router(s). Route to the NSFnet via your authoritative
router(s).
2) Point your regional or CIX default at some commercial internet
service provider instead of the NSFnet.
If you really want fallback routing configure in secondary and tertiary
paths for each net, instead of relying on default. Simple. :-)
