if the MVPN solution does not lay out the correct foundation to support
basic multicast capabilities in VPN context like PIM-Bidir, Anycast-RP,
or anycast sourcing then those capabilities cannot be just added on
after the fact. They have to be an integral part of the solution.
Otherwise we will have to revisit the MVPN for the third time and such
opportunity will not come any time soon, if ever. This will ultimately
decide about the success (or lack of it) of this technology. 
And an IETF recommendations or requirements draft should not ignore such
capabilities.
