> A better solution (IMHO) would be to have a 32 bit field added to the protocol to contain the destination ASN embedded in the packet header. Unfortunately, this is a major change to every system and would basically be the next protocol version (though at least IPv6 and IPv{N} would be interchangeably compatible with each other except for the MTU issues).

Right - a non-starter. 

LISP is certainly not a non-starter. More specifically, it is a incremental-starter. 

If you want to find out, get on the LISP pilot network. See www.lisp4.net, err I mean www.lisp6.net for you. :-)
