This text was driven by the statement in RFC 6487 (Section 3) that says:

   The private key associated with an EE certificate is used to sign a
   single RPKI signed object, i.e., the EE certificate is used to
   validate only one object.

Step 1 in 3.2 is there so that this approach follows the above directive
on the use of the RPKI infrastructure/certificates.
