Then you have not been looking at various announcements of Chinese
address space and asking yourself whether or not you think that it is
plausible or not that a large Chinese ISP would be buying transit for a
small subset of their space from this small out-of-region hosting
company :-(

AIUI the current discussion is intended to allow the proposer to refine
what they are proposing...

... in a world where RPKI is gaining some traction, the misuse of AS
numbers (to tag onto hijacked prefixes) is going to become more common.
I can see no reason to separate out this wickedness.
