It'd be darn difficult to engineer a solution that would end up being
deployed in any reasonable time if we don't know the requirements
first. Yes, there's a draft -- draft-ietf-rpsec-bgpsecrec-03.txt --
but it has been woefully lacking on the operator & deployment
requirements. More people should participate in the effort.
