Perhaps as a result of my conceiving of it, there is a conceivable
social engineering angle here, which could be put to use to create
problems in the GRT. I would expect the minimum effort to protect
against this - preventing any *new* mntners masquerading as aut-nums -
as being a worthwhile investment of effort. As per Job's comment at
~18:41Z, this could be handled with a creation filter, of which there is
precedent.

It would certainly be worth putting a stop to the capability /before/
someone finds a way to exploit it, and we're all left looking at our
feet. :)
