If "running code" trumps law and policy, it has a name:

It seems you did not read the IGP paper which pointed (and rightly so)
that the deployment of the RPKI is done without any public
specification or policy for these very organisations. The IETF did not
produce one RFC yet <http://tools.ietf.org/wg/sidr/> and the RIR did
not produce any formal policy (only proposals like RIPE 2008-04 
<http://www.ripe.net/ripe/policies/proposals/2008-04.html>).

So, even if you are a True Believer in RIR's Bottom-Up,
Consensus-Based, etc, policy development process, you cannot use it as
an argument here.
