It is generally understood in the routing community that some kind of
prefix length filtering is desirable and/or necessary. So the question
becomes: on which bit boundary do we filter? This question seems to be
answered by:

In fact, we have a shorter and easier to read document giving details of
minimum allocation lengths. It was produced at the request of the
routing community and can be found at:
<http://www.ripe.net/ripe/docs/smallest-alloc-sizes.html>
We update it when we receive a new block from the IANA.
