The route object described in http://www.ripe.net/ripe/docs/ripe-189.html states that origin AS is a single occurence. RIPE-189 should then be updated to allow multiple occurences of the origin tag.
Actually, some additions to that effect has allready been made: http://www.ripe.net/ripe/docs/ripe-189.html#sec:crossnot It doesn't specifically allow originating routes from more than one AS, but it does mention that this can be done in multihoming scenarions.

it does generate inconsistent origin as'es and it does break path filters, but not only. it breaks all the tools/methods based on the uniqueness of the route->origin-as mapping. i'm looking for a more or less complete list of these tools/methods.
it seems, though, that the inconsistent-as list is growing and this doesn't produce too much panic.
and if you examine this list more closely, you'll notice that it looks like the major part of it is generated by the isps doing the aforementioned trick. -- dima.
