Ross - we have heard from a very respected member of the community, 
CAIDA.  I heard the message loud and clear back in 2003.

And to verify this you contact KC Claffy or Duane Wessels at CAIDA and 
ask for a copy of the report.  Back in 2003 the error rate was 98%.  Now 
that the chinese, the arabs, the turks and a number of small countries 
are running their own roots I expect that rate now is well above the 98% 
reported back in 2003.
