What is invalid or incorrect here?

What cost?

What holes? There is no difference with IPv4.

What on Earth is a "routing notification"?

Well, there is some of this but since the RIRs seem to have trouble 
living up to their own policies this is problematic. (See 
http://www.bgpexpert.com/archive2003q4.php )

Yes, we don't do this in the internet. (And go fix the IPv4 table first 
if you feel so inclined.)

Again, I have no idea what you're talking about.

Now if we could have a mechanism to determine resolving DNS servers 
automatically in IPv6 and have visible IPv6 addresses for the root DNS 
servers we'd be well on our way. And of course we still need 
multihoming in IPv4 and the IETF has to quit rewriting the RFCs all the 
time.
