I agree that this proposed addition seems to highlight and may address
a potential security issue.

But if a lookup process was interested in finding a geofeed for an IP
address within B, would it have any reason or automated means to
backtrack and lookup knowledge of the signed geofeed for A?  Do
inetnum lookups return all superprefix inetnums as well?  (asking for
a friend)
