IMHO, from both a security perspective _AND_ a service provider perspective, 
hosted RPKI is a bad idea.

It would have to be something like that to be functional. Unfortunately, I 
think that’s a non-trivial implementation by each RIR for their particular 
brand of hosted RPKI. All of this is a lot easier with delegated RPKI.
