Summary: Ready for publication as an Informational RFC

This draft provides a discussion of vulnerabilities in Simplified Multicast
Forwarding (SMF), focusing on attacking the Duplicate Packet Detection and
Relay Set Selection mechanisms. It positions itself as being useful 
information
for those deploying SMF as currently defined.  It does not propose 
mitigations,
but does have a section that identifies potential future work that might.

I have sent several editorial nits directly to the authors.
