Ironically, my slides for the MDR position draft presented
at the Dallas meeting did not even use the word "natural"!
Instead there was a slide titled "Similarities Between OSPF-MDR and OSPF"
http://www3.ietf.org/proceedings/06mar/slides/ospf-4/sld6.htm

I guess some unnecessary arguing could have been avoided if I
had referred to this slide instead the older one, so that
the relevant properties of OSPF-MDR could be discussed without
quibbling over the term "natural".

Anyway, these similarities between OSPF-MDR and OSPF are an
important aspect of the MDR approach.  (I know of several
people who agree with this.)  As mentioned, this similarity
is beneficial because it minimizes the number of objects,
concepts, techniques, etc. that must be added to OSPF.
