Agree with Roland, too many ISP's do slightly different things.  I think
a standard community could capture all the power and options possible.
A standard community would greatly reduce the flexibility.  

Does the provider set no-advertise on such updates so I have to
advertise them over every eBGP session?  Does the provider do source,
destination, or both blackholing?  Does the provider attempt to
propagate it to their upstreams?  If so, which ones?  Can I control
which ones?  If the provider has multiple ASes, do they propagate it to
all their ASes?  If so, which ones?  Can I control which ones?  Does the
provider offer QPPB instead of blackholing? Etc...

The problem with this is that it lacks granularity, and if this were to
come to pass and you tagged your announcement accordingly, you don't
know what the result will be, nor where, nor how.

We've all seen instances of uncoordinated mitigation which have gone
awry and made things worse, not better.  Any kind of inter-provider
signaling of this type should only be undertaken/work after an explicit
mutual understanding has been reached regarding expectations and actual
behavior.

Given the fact that various operators have implemented various
communities for various purposes over time, and given the
situationally-specific nature of the blackholing mechanisms themselves,
I think that while this is a noble goal, that it simply isn't practical
in this particular milieu and should probably be removed.

      All behavior is economic in motivation and/or consequence.
