    Hi,
    with OSPFv2 most implementations did not implement MOSPF (shall I 
say MOSPFv2) and the same will probably be true for OSPFv3/MOSPFv3. So I 
think it is very reasonable that we want to separate mandatory part of 
OSPFv3 from optional (and so far not very well specified) MOSPFv3.
    We are not banning MOSPFv3 work completely. If there is interest in 
MOSPFv3 it can be taken as separate work by interested parties.

    Thanks,

Anton
