Hi Christer,

We discussed your first comment and we agree with Toerless's response. We 
believe that the intro does express the intent and purpose of this BCP 
adequately. Based on your second comment, we have changed the title of Section 
4 to "Functional Guidelines". The new version has been uploaded.

Thanks for taking the time and effort to read this BCP.

Best wishes,

Percy

I am a bit at a loss. This is a BCP, eg: it is meant to document current best 
practices.
It is not meant to suggest "improvements" for protocols or the like. The 
abstract and intro do IMHO pretty well stsate the intent and purpose of the 
doc. 

Maybe its just surprising to you that there has so far been no document to 
describe how to deploy IP multicast interdomain, especially with the inclusion 
of of options such as GRE and AMT - and simplifying it by only using SSM ??

Or else: Do you have any text to propose ?

All the subsections are called "<function-foobar> Guidlines", so how about wee 
call the whole section "Functional Guidelines" ?
