 Do we believe that providers should know location of all nodes on the
Internet without peering? 

That implies that you can route based on static location and implies
that your locators are independent of the
network topology.  Unfortunately, that is exactly the reverse of what
scales.  It implies that you must flood 
topology information for the entire net.

 Do we believe that providers should know location of all nodes within a
specific topology, without peering? 
 
Same answer.  You either distribute full topology information or prefix
information.
 
 Do we believe that providers should know location of all nodes within a
specific topology within specific rendezvous points within the
aforementioned specific topology, without peering? 
 
I can't parse.
 
 Do we believe that providers should only know peerings for providers
that exist near specific locations? 
 
This either.
