And for that I am grateful. Truly.

But I think what might be of value (huge earth shattering value) is to take 
this, and also an analysis of the RPKI for where actors can create valid 
objects which will result in routing outcomes that are not by the strict design 
of the resource holder.

Such a document I think, in light of this observed functionality, is near 
mandatory to identify and perhaps ultimately address the imperfections. Not 
saying that RPKI and BGPSEC needs to be perfect first go, or even that we share 
a common definition of "imperfection" but I see this as a crack in the looking 
glass.
