But they need connectivity for things like member mailing lists, www servers etc. anyway - which does not mean that those services have to (or even "should") be located at the IX itself, in the same IP prefix.
I should have read this before I responded to Dave Pratt's email - Gert said it far better than I did!
For the purposes of this policy discussion, we must differentiate between address space utilized explicitly for the interconnection of exchange participants and space utilized for other purposes.
What about a route reflector run at an exchange point with a LG to check things out? Wouldn't a globally routable IP address be called for in regards to the LG? -Hank

I would say "no" - who would use the looking glass? The connected ISPs, or their customers, and they have to route the IX network anyway (but only internally).
