So, so cruel.

Kind of.

We think we want to validate published ROA (and, where necessary, ASPA) objects 
in order to determine whether we are authorised to originate a prefix.

We know that we also need a way to match a specific customer identity to the 
resources, for which we imagine we can figure something out using signed 
checklists.

However, this document is adjacent to all of that. In a world where we have 
figured out the right way to do the stuff above, and we no longer have a need 
to collect LOAs from customers, what artefact do we send to peers and transit 
providers who themselves require ROAs? The answer we propose is a 
minimally-structured, unsigned document that is intended to be human-readable 
and which tells the recipient how and why we think we are authorised to send 
them a prefix.

We can hope that over time the set of such peers and transit providers becomes 
empty (as it apparently is already for Ben) but we know that today, for us, we 
still need to do this.
