| No. Some folk believe that this should be the case, others 
| believe that this should not be the case. Those who believe 
| that this should not be the case are  proposing the BOA as a 
| form of explicitly stating what is invalid without having to 
| state what is valid.

Why should this not be the case?

| By the way, given that you have published a ROA aithorizing 
| your origin AS to advertise the prefix, I suspect that this 
| has created some further vulnerabilities that a BOA would not 
| create. What happens if I use this ROA you've created to 
| hijack with your prefix by prepending your origin AS to my 
| AS? Can a third party detect that this is a hijack of your 
| prefix from the origination information and the ROA? I do not 
| think so.

This is a good example case for path attestation / complete AS_PATH
validation, no? When a third party tries to verify whether the
path leads back to origin AS, that should fail (whenever we get to
that part)...

| That's your _assumption_ of the sematics of a ROA. What 
| reference material or working group draft can you cite for 
| semantic interpretation of a ROA? 
| draft-ieft-sidr-roa-validation? I don't think so. The point 
| of hte BOA draft it that it challenges this assumption by 
| taking the position that such route aorigination authorities 
| are explicitly scoped to the authority described in the 
| object, without the implicit inclusion of any other authority 
| or denial.

So are you saying that an entity who is not owner of prefix 10/8
can issue an ROA for it and it would be present in/added to the 
RPKI repository?
