This is essentially not a property of RPKI however.  It is a property
of the RIPE DB itself.

Let me quickly illustrate:
To check what your customers wants to announce to you -- you talk to *them*.
To check if what the customers wants to announce is also listed in
$IRROFCHOICE, you check $IRROFCHOICE.

I don't see what problem RPKI solves here.

Kind Regards,
