I have a question regarding draft-ietf-avtcore-rtp-topologies-update.  Is a source projecting middlebox part of Topo-Mixer?

Section 3.6 describes the Topo-Mixer category, with subsections describing the media mixing variety and the media switching variety.

Then section 3.7 describes a source projecting middlebox, but there is no Topo- designation for this case.  If the source projecting middlebox is a third variety of Topo-Mixer, then this section 3.7 should be renumbered as 3.6.3, to indicate it is part of 3.6 Topo-Mixer.  If the source projecting middlebox is not a variety of Topo-Mixer, then it should be given its own new Topo-Source-Projecting designation, and also added to the comparison in section 4.2.
