are you asking about something like this:
  https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-spaghetti-sidrops-rpki-rsc/

Which COULD be used to, as an AS holder:
  "sign something to be sent between you and the colo and your intended peer"

that you could sign (with your rpki stuffs) and your peer could also
sign with their 'rpki stuffs', and which the colo provider could
automatically validate and action upon final signature(s) received.

chris,

way back, the rirs were very insistant that their use of rpki authority
was most emphatically not to be considered an identity service.  this
permeated the design; e.g., organization names were specifically
forbidden in certificate CN, Subject Alternative Name, etc.

aside: of course a few rirs thought that *their* names should be in
their certs as exeptions.  i remember the laughter.
