I meant suppose there were a set of TAs that covered the TAs that were
commonly used.  Not that common use was to use the entire set.

That is a different answer than was given in the meeting, but it is
an answer I had half expected.

The question then becomes whether we have to relate each signature to
the prefixes it covers, or whether we are OK with a validation rule
that as long as the stated prefixes are completely covered by the
union of the prefixes associated with the signatures, the ROA is valid.
