Also, the configuration of manual SAs to protect v6 control signaling
traffic on e.g. an office WLAN network would be a lot easier if the 
destination
address was ignored [draft-arkko-manual-icmpv6-sas-00.txt].

Multicast is used in that case as well, but in that particular application
coordinating the multicast SPI numbers would be easier than in
the general case of internet TV viewers scattered around the globe.
