Hum... a protocol that exchanges routes directly with a router? Over
a TCP connection maybe? We could even group the route information 
in Updates and per Address Family?  Add a few Capabilities over the
top and call it Novative Excellent Way for Border Gateway Programming?

Excuse the naive question, but isn't this BGP? I always get weird 
looks when I suggest we run BGP on DHCP servers, but it would 
actually fit the job description pretty well (at least for the 
purpose of route injection).
