Have you considered the existing (mis)use case of Vodafone policy routing traffic from cable modem tails to ISP's on the WIX fabric? I'd love to get them to stop doing that and deliver their cable connections to us across one of the multitude of their own links into us, but they don't seem that interested.
In the near past I also knew of multiple instances of backup transit and partial transit across the WIX and APE fabric, no idea if they are still in play or not.
This is pretty much exactly what was discussed a couple years ago. IXP operators should not have visibility of commercial arrangements between members. The proposed IXP has to have a technical understanding of those arrangements (or risk dropping packets), or have an opt-out to turn all the "security" features off. And the first thing to be turned off when troubleshooting a problem will be the IXP meddlin^Wsecurity features. And they'll stay off. Cheers -Mike
