Olen's original comment was about the following text in the document:

> "An FGL ingress RBridge MAY serially TRILL unicast a multi-destination
> TRILL Data frame to the relevant egress TRILL switches after encapsulating
> it as a TRILL known unicast data frame (M=0)".

Does the base TRILL spec forbid the above behavior? 

Is this sentence even needed? Can we just remove it? (FWIW, it seems
to me to be unnecessary.)
