Glad to see your local policies could be different. This will at least 
allow
for your clients to load-balance. 

What about a client doing load-balacing between multiple providers?  Would 
you, 
for example, carry longer prefixes from your clients one or multiple peers 
away? 
It boils down to what do you consider local vs global. You'd probably have 
to 
put a limit on the AS path length of the longer prefixes. 

I guess this all can be negotiated with transit and peers, but it's good
to share views on this so that we end up with consistent policies 
wherever that's possible.
