At the end of Section 4, you may consider adding a sentence to the effect: It 
is expected that the AGGREGATOR AS will have a ROA registered that permits the 
AGGREGATOR AS to originate the aggregate prefix. 

The following comments are similar to what I have observed for 
draft-ietf-sidr-roa-validation-03:

There is substantial commonality in the problem space addressed as well as the 
solution (algorithm) described between the two documents: 
draft-pmohapat-sidr-pfx-validate-03 and draft-ietf-sidr-roa-validation-03.

The algorithm in this ID and also that in draft-ietf-sidr-roa-validation-03 do 
not cover another case of partial deployment where suballocations legitimately 
originate from a different AS and while a parent prefix has a ROA with ISP's AS 
origin, the suballocation (customer's) has no ROA registered yet. Please see 
slide 4 in link below (I had emailed this to SIDR list soon after the SIDR WG 
meeting in Stockholm):

I must admit that I am a bit torn about how to cater to this type of partial 
deployment condition. One way out is to have a deadline prior to which the 
validation decisions would be soft ("not found") for this case and then the 
hard decision ("invalid") kicks in after the deadline (again see my slides; use 
of BOA or ROA with AS0 may be helpful but not essential as discussed in my 
slides 5 and 6).
