first, as $subject says, if anywhere, this should be in the routing wg.
let us resist the inclination to make what was the anti spam wg the net
police, judge, and jury.

on the proposal itself, i am of two minds.  while i see negligible
initial harm, it's not clear it will do a lot of good.  and i see your
point about the slippery slope of mission creep.

i do find it amusing that it uses the singular case where an ROV origin
can not be 'usefully' forged.  i.e. the attacker can not postpend AS 0
and have it accepted.  but this cute factor still does not sell the
proposal to me.
