Intended status derives from this document updating RFC 6488, which also
is a Standards Track document.

I've made some changes in the edit buffer to make the abstract an
abstract. Does this seem better to you?

The document describes an optimization strategy, "do X to avoid wasting
bandwidth". The SHOULD can be 'bypassed' when the repository operator or
relying party implementation don't want to be efficient.

There is no mechanism to force participants in the ecosystem to comply
with the strategy this draft proposes, fumbling the 'last modified'
timestamps doesn't impact the validity of RPKI signed objects.

I'm open to suggestions!

Kind regards,
