I am very concerned the impact this kind of activity has on the integrity of 
public allocation registries.

How are external parties meant to understand what should exist, if the RPKI 
signing leaps over intermediate parties that are explicitly listed as having 
substantive authority over the disposition of resources?

I am struggling to imagine how this activity happens in the context of lawsuit, 
and the risk of lawsuit by the skipped-over party, and other unrelated parties.

The Grandparent has no contractual relationship with the Grandchild. What is 
the basis for entering into an agreement to certify these resources, rather 
than performing a publicly recognized transfer of control? Whats the long-term 
relationship between the new child, and the Grandparent? on what basis does 
RPKI certification continue, or cease? Does the parent retain any control? What 
if the parent does wake up an RPKI engine, and issues conflicting signing 
state? 

I don't think these are subjects which vest well inside the IETF process, or an 
RFC. I think they go to address policy questions  currently handled inside the 
RIR policy framework, by address holders. Since the affected parties include 
address holders I cannot see how this should be documented or defined outside 
of that process.
