I'm not sure if the protocol design's going to change the use-cases...
you're still going to want to secure a route. (not an important point)

I'm not against this, though we've got a document hanging out post
WGLC (perhaps it ought to be re-reviewed if the changes were
significant... anyway) and we'll have to keep kicking it each 5.5
months to stay 'alive'. (again, not super important, and see below as
well)

hrm, in:

  <http://tools.ietf.org/id/draft-ietf-sidr-bgpsec-ops-04.txt>

section-6 there's discussion of 'only sign your one prefix, do nothing
else complex' which fits the model, albeit requiring the end site to
run some small number of commands on their device. If they wanted to
hand their private key materials to the upstreams they could do the
signing, but that seems icky (to me).

I don't know that, if implications are understood by the end site and
configurations available for use on their side, end-sites would want
to hand over control of their IP assets in this way. Running the
signing on their side should be simple enough, and low/no-cost.

I think the authors said something like: "send text" where you think
it is fit to be inserted... If other folks want to delay/re-review
they need to speak up. Consensus so far was that the document was
ready to move along.
