Just to be sure:

Did you understand the part about implementations of TCP-AO and ipsec-AH not being available at present?

I.e., you recognize this forces a delay in implementation of the protocol (and accept the consequent impact on deployment of the RPKI)?

[Uma] Yes, I did. Even though operators don't like  ipsec-AH today, it is still deployed for OSPFv3 protection as that 
(of course now there are other drafts to mitigate complexity with reasonable trade-off).

Problem with MD5 is, it can present the *weakest* link for the whole RPKI infa.
At least new infrastructure like RPKI should avoid deprecated  stuff.
