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.
