I would recommend that you explain the point (why would it be inappropriate for 
an MLDv2 multicast to be sent to a unicast MAC address if the sender in fact 
knows that only that MAC address is relevant), and suggest text. 

Are you referring to

? Those are the only two usages of the word "unicast" in the document. I'm not 
sure what to exclude MLDv2 from...
