Avri - 

The author's contention has been overtaken by events, in that
one of the IETF RPKI drafts specifically addresses how parties 
that want to use RPKI should be able to control their reliance 
on any given trust anchor and be able to establish their own 
local rules for what information to utilize.  The proposed RPKI
capability is on the IETF Standards Track and can be found here:
