I realize you're asking a bigger question but, in answer to your one  
above, you can do a "sho ip bgp community | exclude <whatever you want  
to exclude>".   One thing I noticed is that the pattern matching  
appears to look for everything after the ":" in the new-format.  So,  
we match all incoming routes from TWTC with 11274:4323.  When I try to  
match 11274:4323 I get nothing.  When I match 4323 I get everything  
*but* 11274:4323.
