I wouldn't count on that. If such a mechanism would become available
(which isn't completely unthinkable, see http://www.bgpexpert.com/
article.php?id=113 ), then obviously it will be a long time before
everything that's in the routing tables has a corresponding
certificate. It would be possible to give routes that check out a
higher preference than ones that don't, but there's always that pesky
longest match first rule that seems to cause so much trouble these days.
