Hi,

The point that I was trying to make, but maybe not clearly, is that 
rpki-tree-validation is indeed intended as an Informational document 
specifically detailing our implementation only, but that the RP implementers 
discussed earlier during WG sessions that we might want to create a generalised 
RP requirement, or even BCP validation document at a later stage. So I was just 
somewhat surprised to see this come up.

That being said, we are all busy, so I have no problem with you taking the lead 
in the effort to document the generalised RP requirements instead. Especially 
as an Informational document referencing the authoritative docs - as it seems 
to do.
