Who would do this blocking? Some examples would be nice. I think most ISP's don't want customers to leave instead of use their full bandwidth allocation.

While it could motivate some people to run Tor on their servers and thus adding capacity, I believe it's more likely that it would motivate more people to block as much Tor traffic as possible and lead to congestion of the network.
