— Section 2.2 —

   1.  The end user starts the app, which issues a join to the (S,G):
       (198.51.100.15, 232.252.0.2).

What is 232.252.0.2, and where did it come from?  It would be good for the text
to introduce that.

— Section 2.3.2 —

   Among relay addresses that still have an equivalent preference after
   the above orderings, a gateway MUST make a non-deterministic choice
   for relay preference ordering, in order to support load balancing by
   DNS configurations that provide many relay options.

What do you have in mind here?  Random selection?  Something else?  If so, what
else that can be assured to be non-deterministic, given the "MUST"?
