Don, the point of GEOcoding is the user get the info from the most local source = low latency = quicker content display. Now for path discovery we would need to allocate CPU resources to calculate that - is that quicker than a table lookup, I do not know as I am not a programmer.
All this of course assume will can scale BGP4+ or the next routing protocol to handle the size of table we are talking about.

Is this really how GeoCoding should work anyway?
Why not just use path discovery?
Remind me why we even need Geocoding? (other than being a way to double clip the ticket on users that are a longer distance from content and then just invest in tunnels to 'appear' closer to the content than they really are).
