Correct.  We have an ID which makes recommendations (but it is still
up to each provider what their specific policy will be)

>From <draft-ietf-sidr-origin-ops-20> - 

   "Announcements with Valid origins SHOULD be preferred over those with
   NotFound or Invalid origins, if the latter are accepted at all.

   Announcements with NotFound origins SHOULD be preferred over those
   with Invalid origins.

   Announcements with Invalid origins SHOULD NOT be used, but MAY be
   used to meet special operational needs.  In such circumstances, the
   announcement SHOULD have a lower preference than that given to Valid
   or NotFound.

   When first deploying origin validation, it may be prudent to not drop
   announcements with Invalid orgins until inspection of logs, SNMP, or
   other data indicate that the correct result would be obtained."

No ROA is no ROA...  Should give way to routes with Valid origins.

If that's the case, you might want to make some suggestions of alternative 
text for "Section 5. Routing Policy" of draft-ietf-sidr-origin-ops-20>.  
As it is, it looks fairly solid in describing the situation at initial 
deployment and factors that an operator might want to consider in setting
their local policy.

Thanks!
