Well, I don't think the draft in its present form should attempt to
answer that question. In my mind I was thinking of a conventional
LAN set up, i.e. spanning tree, but that doesn't have to be the
only way. In practice that usually needs MLDv2 snooping as well.

L3 multicast works automatically if L2 multicast works, surely (remembering
that there is no router). How L2 multicast works is another question, of
course. I don't mean to say it's unimportant, just that it's not in scope
for this particular draft.
