I think that the protocols are not similar and I think that P2P-RPL is applicable for home applications.
Restating Robert's comment, the draft in its original form was a sort of problem statement which helps nobody designing anything.
The natural evolution of the draft was to describe how one could meet the requirements for home applications; and to the authors
of the draft, P2P-RPL seems to be the best choice for home applications.

I have no intention of preventing others from evaluating the applicability of RPL for home applications.

Thanks,
  Anders

The applicability statement, when it was originally produced, identified issues with RPL as it stood then for applicability in home and building automation. This kicked off the development of the RPL-P2P work, which is more or less complete. Therefore it is logical to refer to this work in the updated document.

I agree that it is logical *to refer* and discuss applicability of RPL-P2P, but don't agree to change the aim of the draft from RPL to RPL-P2P. Do you think both protocols are similar, or do you think that RPL is not applicabile for home applications, just RPL-P2P?
