Please make that count 2 not 1.

I already sent a few days ago a public mail response to ThomasC.  I said
"well I believe it should [treat multicast]".

Me too I object to the lack of treatment of multicast in this draft.
Multicast is the very first thing happening when booting up.  It's the
only thing that can help autoconf.  This draft ignoring multicast shows
signs autoconf can't happen.

Multicast is what helps DHCP happen, which is a kind of what autoconf
tries to achieve.  Multicast helps many other protocols trying to do
things as autoconf tries.

Multicast is what an RFC MANET document reserves in its IANA section.

Please add the multicast objection too thank you.
