It legitimates what seems to be rogue announcements, like for example 196.16.0.0/14, as mentionned recently on the NANOG mailing list (*). We should, IMHO not be able to insert out of region route(6) object without having a prior authentication mechanism, or making it be specially flagged, so the auto ACL system from upstreams wouldnt match it.
