Dear All,

First, minor comment.  There is a typo in 3.0
where half way down it says "Ancyast-RP" and not "Anycast-RP".

Second, question.

The ID does not explicitly consider the position
where the DR for a source is actually one of the RPs themselves.

E.g. in section 3.0, perhaps RP1 is indeed itself the DR for S1.
I think this all still works o.k. though, RP1 would
presumably still send the PIM-register to the RPA and
thus intercept it itself and behave as described
as though it had arrived from another DR.

I suppose the only potential problem is if it checked the source
of the PIM-register and then acted as though it had arrived
"from another RP" in the set...
