Hey Alex,

I will discuss with Acee soon, but there is no ongoing MOSPF 
work. In late 2002, we had removed MOSPF work-items from the
working groups work-item list and we had announced the removal
of the same in the Nov/Dec-2002 WG meeting. While I am sure
that there are some MOSPF networks out there, I am also sure
that permanently putting a stop to MOSPF work (if that is
what historic implies) would surprise or effect very few 
people.

Best,
--rohit.
