No, the implementation checks the prefix against the cert (if the cert has
an attribute with prefixes) when the RA is received. That's what I meant by
"router is authorized to route the prefix as advertised". But then the
prefix is put onto the merged prefix list if it passes, as RFC 2461 intends.
The cert is not used to make any routing decisions.

So I don't think the 2461 conceptual model is in conflict.
