	no problemo...  when i hand out a block of space, i'll expect
	my clients to hand me a DS record ...  then I sign the DS.
	and I'll hand a DS to my parent, which they sign.
	That works a treat.... today (if you run current code)
	and gives you exactly what you describe above.

	Oh, you want the prefix attestation to be used for soemthing
	other than attestation as to whom holds a given prefix?

	you wnat to attest to the "routability" of said prefix?
	thats a bit more than a simple attestation of responsibility,
	IMHO of course.
