Tony,

> 1. As a matter of principle yes, one of my usual pony horses, "architecture should not overspecify a technology" and that applies here. the architecture doc would be better served without that clause.

Great, lets change it!

> 3. Removing the restriction must not, IMO, result in a complete new WG LC and IESG review albeit Greg has to write a new Ops section which will probably make both prudent nevertheless

We’ve been working on this architecture for a few years now, and this document is the MAIN architecture for BIER. If we discovered an mistake before its published as RFC, lets fix it now. If WG LC and IESG will add a 4 month delay, who cares?

BTW, I loved you’re references :-)

Thx,

Ice.
