I do understand the need for *local* traffic engineering, but I'm not 
sure why I should bother when I'm half a world away - so I'll filter your
more-specifics, and rely on the covering aggregate to reach one of
your upstream-ISPs (or someone close).  Then the more-specifics will
cut in and do your local TE.
