You’re right and there is a proposal to do exactly that.  It will be discussed on the VWG today if you want to join.  We do need a more formal and rigorous evaluation of the risks and vulnerabilities inherent in the use of each validation method.

Intuitively, these methods were proved to be the "weakest" among the other methods, even though there are known vulnerabilities for almost all of them (including DNS/routes hijacking, etc). The validation working group should discuss more about the threats of each method (and how to formalize the level of assurance) in case a similar discussion about the other methods is brought forward.
