If someone has a signed route for 99.1/16, and someone keep in mind that the first step didn't include any real 'routing protocol' hooks as I recall, but some automation help and OSS/ops help to look over a long list of prefixes in a better manner. With some assurance that the allocations/assignments were all proper...

Doesn't that break common that sounds like sBGP/SoBGP ... of those the (last I saw) soBGP route of using the certification information as a policy knob seemed the most reasonable.
