I think here is a misunterstanding. Those providers that would allow these 44 addresses to be hosted in their network will have to set up those addresses. So in their view they assign them to you as a customer, exactly as they would with a regular address.
From other ISP nets, you will access those addresses as any other host in
the internet, via your public IP. And exactly, there is NO DIFFERENCE in that case. So if your provider does not host a part of the 44 address space in their network, you will still need tunnels to get access and to reach ampr hosts. Except that those hosted "specially" will allow direct access from anywhere.

No spoofing. Just plain and simple NAT to your public IP.
If you are using NAT you don't need a 44.x.x.x address. In that case there is no difference between hiding a 44net address and a 10net address behind the NAT.
The whole point of this discussion, as I understand it, is how to implement peering between AMPRNET and other autonomous systems on the net. This would allow routing of 44net addresses without need for NAT or tunneling.
The difficulty lies in getting ISPs to allow "ordinary users" to maintain 44net IP addresses or networks and advertise routes from within that ISP.
