I disagree with this characterization of Steve's presentation.  He 
presented a technique to allow a local determination of the authorization 
of routing information.  His technique was not a technique for 
distribution of routing information and was not independent from the 
outside world.  Note also that locally originated routing information and 
RPKI information would flow to the outside world without effect.
