I think you’re asking why different algorithms are needed to those specified 
for the rest of the RPKI?  If that’s the case, it’s key/sig size to keep the 
protocol smaller than if we used RSA/RSA-PSS and that’s covered in RFC 5480.  
If you’re asking about why would somebody want to define different algorithms 
for BGPsec then it's discovered weaknesses, vanity :), etc.
