COMMENT:
----------------------------------------------------------------------

- IPR: so we have a late IPR declaration that sys
RAND+royalty but yet the filing refers to the I-D
that preceded the application and there's a common
author/inventor. Sheesh. But the WG did consider it
and were ok going ahead from a look at the list.
(So there's no need to reply to my whining here:-)

- 6.3: Is RFC7739 worth a mention here?  Not sure
myself.

- section 9: I'd have thought that this solution
reduced the potential for a DoS compared to the
previous situation where multicast traffic is 
mapped to unicast? If so, worth a mention?
