    > The most recent rev of draft-droms-6man-multicast-scopes defines scope
    > 0x03 as:

    > 3  Network-Specific scope, greater than Link-Local scope, defined
    > automatically from the network topology

    > To be confirmed: will this definition suffice for MPL?

I think it is sufficient, because we understand what it means.
I am concerned about the word "Network"... which could mean anything to anyone.

I'd think that the right word would be "subnet", because the intent is that
it is for the entire /64 or whatever it is that one is using.  I think that
is the term that is used in RFC4291.
