OK, this is perfectly acceptable for multicast. When there are no other 
suggestions or objection, the draft is changed accordingly

However, concerning alinea 3 in section 7.1 references to dtls-relay and 
security-6top are informational references and do not influence the 
specification part.
On the mailing list there was at least support for mentioning 
dtls-relay.
So, I like to keep them.

I don't understand what you mean.
You want references to documents? Explaining the standards seems not 
really called for here.
