Comments on draft  draft-lynn-6man-6lobac-00:

- needs a section on multicast address mapping; it may not be 
straightforward: it may need to _not_ send all ip-multicasted messages 
to 255 link-layer address: the solicited-node multicast address includes 
the octet address (as opposed to eg ethernet 6octets) hence it could 
send it to that octet address (not 255).

- 1 Poll for Master - sounds as RS, why not mapping one into another?
   2 Reply to Poll for Master sounds as RA, same.

- MLD mapping could be as well useful.
