    Fixed. But not sure this justifies another rev of the spec. I'll let the
    working group chairs decide.

    Right, but the main PIM spec presumes this. This isn't anything speific
    to Anycast-PIM.

    Yes, most implementations, the DR will send the PIM register to the RP
    address, which is itself. The packet is looped back into an input queue
    and processed like it came from another system. The same goes for the
    Register-Stop message that it returns to itself.
