  What about:

 IPv6 with hierarchial(sp?) geographical allocation ?

 BGP with some kind of tag limiting it to <N> AS hops ?
( say N=2 or N=3? )
Hope count wont work. You would see the same hop count at all your peering locations. How your traffic exited would depend on your IGP decision tree. Do we want to get into exporting meds or tags? And with >100 domestic peering points how would you manage that? Vadim is correct, it would take a whole new protocol and that is unlikely. Proof of that is IPv6. IPv4 is obviously still the big winner.

Doesnt this model sound a bit like internap to anyone? Why even have a backbone if you have peering in every location.
