Alvaro,

A new version -04 has been uploaded that includes changes
based on your Discuss and other comments.
It took sometime because we (authors) thought it was best to 
incorporate all of the IESG reviewers' comments before uploading
a new version. That is done now. 

>....
>Given that Algorithm B is more flexible, and that the limitations from Algorithm A are overcome (§3.4), I would like to see B be the recommendation.

These main changes per your recommendation are incorporated.
Please take a look at the revised Section 3.7, where we've added 
a new Section 3.7.1 to speak about applicability and limitations of Algorithm A.
You may take a look at the diff:
https://tools.ietf.org/rfcdiff?url2=draft-ietf-opsec-urpf-improvements-04.txt

>Yes…but it is important to clearly mention the known vulnerabilities of the solutions being proposed.

We have carefully revised the Security Considerations section.
There we mention again the limitations of Algorithm A 
and refer back to Section 3.7.1 for details.
We also discuss (in the Security Considerations) the risks
of augmenting the RPF list based on ROA data (per your suggestion). 
We also mention the need for "security hardening of    
routers and other supporting systems (e.g., Resource PKI (RPKI) and 
ROA management systems) against compromise..."

Please let us know if you have any additional comments.
Thanks very much for your help.

Sriram
