Colin (cc. confctrl),

I've just taken a quick look at "draft-ietf-mmusic-sap-v2-01.txt".  Good job!

I'd like to suggest, though, that you simplify the draft by completely
removing section 6: the section that describes Directory Sessions.  Because
directory session advertisements are a feature of *SDP*, the discussion
here doesn't really belong in a description of SAP - the announcement
protocol.

Instead, a description of directory sessions (& how they're used) belongs
in a separate RFC that describes the optional "directory"  SDP media type.
(Writing this is something that's been on my "to do" list, although I
probably won't be able to get it done in time for the Oslo IETF.)

All the SAP specification needs to say about directory sessions is to
acknowledge - as you already do in section 3 - that the address on which
SAP announcements are made may itself have been specified dynamically.

	Ross.
