1, 2, and 4 are uninteresting to me, not worth the additional complexity.

3. I have been allocated 203.10.60.0/22. I wish to ensure that any more specific advertisement of this prefix is unauthorized. If I generate a
BOA for 203.10.60.0/23 AND 203.10.62.0/23 then my intention is clear.

ROA 203.10.60.0/22-22

the owner of the prefix has spoken.  that is what may be announced and
that is all that may be announced.

as nw once said "i did not leave that out because i ran out of ink."

In the context of BOA, you complained Randy, that a BOA compelled people lower, more specific to issue ROA to override the BOA. you complained, that they are unnecessarily brought into the process and cannot exist as non-secured routing people, unless they do this. You complained about the compulsion element.

But, your statement above COMPELS any more specific, to issue a valid ROA, to prove their routes are acceptable. It has exactly the same property. Exactly.

Whereas, with a BOA, you can choose to formally disclaim, or not disclaim, more specifics. The choice is left with the relying party, *unless* a BOA is issued.
