    Hi Ice,
    thanks for your review comments. Please find updated text attached 
to this email. If changes are OK then I will publish them in a new revision.

    The method described in this document can be used to compute 
cross-AF mapping of egress LSR for sub-LSPs of a P2MP LSP. I've added a 
sentence mentioning this.
    The document concentrates on path computation aspects specific to
OSPF. Data plane considerations are not specific to OSPF, so I don't 
think this document is a good place to have a text about how to forward 
cross-AF traffic thru P2MP LSP.

    I rewrote the paragraph. Hopefully the text is clearer now.
    Having in the example IP addresses from the documentation range is 
very explicit in showing what information is put into TLVs. So I left in 
the text IP addresses but reduced their number from 3 to 2. I hope this 
also will make the example more straightforward to follow.

    Fixed.

I do think it has consequences as it requires an IPv4/IPv6 explicit NULL label, if you want to share IPv4 and IPv6 traffic over the same P2MP LSP.
