Perhaps these should be considered for informative text in an I-D.

i think we are missing something more basic, a clear, simple, concise,
terse, and rigorous definition of the semantics of a roa.

then, and only then, can we start to discuss the need/use of a boa.

from the roa draft:

2.1.3.2. eContent

  The content of a ROA identifies a single AS that has been authorized
  by the address space holder to originate routes and a list of one or
  more IP address prefixes that will be advertised.  If the address
  space holder needs to authorize multiple ASes to advertise the same
  set of address prefixes, the holder issues multiple ROAs, one per AS
  number.

and

4. Security Considerations


....   The purpose of a ROA is to convey authorization for an AS to
  originate a route to the prefix(es) in the ROA.

these are basic, clear, simple, concise, terse, and rigorous definition of the semantics of a roa.
