I found no way to hold the draft-wijnands-mpls-mldp-in-band-wildcard-
encoding further, it is almost 5 months since that document were ready
to move.

However, I'm prepared to go to wg adoption poll on draft-rekhter-
mpls-pim-sm-over-mldp very quickly if the following update is made.

OLD

    This document uses BGP Source Active auto-discovery routes, as
    defined in [MVPN-BGP]. This document also identifies the deployment
    scenarios where BGP Source Active auto-discovery routes will not be
    used.

NEW

    This document uses BGP Source Active auto-discovery routes, as
    defined in [MVPN-BGP].

    In a deployment scenario where the service provider has
    provisioned the network in such a way that the RP for a particular
    ASM group G is always between the receivers and the sources. If the
    network is provisioned in this manner, the ingress PE for (S,G)
    is always the same as the ingress PE for the RP, and thus the
    Source Active A-D routes are never needed.  If it is known a priori
    that the network is provisioned in this manner, mLDP in-band
    signaling can be supported using a simplified set of procedures.
    Specification of the simplified procedures supporting this scenario
    is outside the scope of the present document.  See [draft-wijnands-
    mpls-mldp-in-band-wildcard-encoding]. A service provider will
    provision the PE routers either to use [draft-wijnands] procedures
    or to use the procedures of this document.
