Actually, Leo, I think that paragraph may have hit on a good portion
of the solution:

ARIN is not required to provide any NEW services to legacy holders
without an RSA.  I doubt anyone will dispute that.

So, simple suggestion here (let's see what kind of opposition it
develops)...

ARIN should start issuing certificates for prefixes handed out by
ARIN.  ARIN should issue those certificates ONLY to recipients
who have signed an ARIN RSA and only for the prefixes which are
covered under said RSA.

If secure routing starts using those certificates and becomes popular,
then, the ability to get a certificate becomes a carrot for legacy  
holders
to sign an RSA.
