It would be nice with an operational write-up on how to get this to work 
in real life. I've been to presentations about it, but there were serious 
lack of HOWTOs and requirements in it.

I guess router vendors need to start supporting 
<https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-sidr-rpki-rtr/> and I'd 
imagine that'll take 6-12 months after it's even feature commit, so seeing 
deployment of this in 2011 seems highly doubtful?

It's one of those features I doubt would ever be implemented in 12.0S for 
GSR, but perhaps enough large ISPs have stopped using IOS GSRs at their 
edge so this is not a problem anymore.
