My point is, we may not be able to justify a real use-case for Map-Requesting 
multiple EID-records. But to ask for all records that are more specific then a 
a prefix you request makes sense to solve the use-case, I think Med wants to 
solve. That is reloading your map-cache on an ITR when it restarts.

I made a suggestion but haven’t received any feedback on it yet.

The specification does specify that you can put multiple EIDs in a Map-Request, 
it just doesn’t say why you should. And we need to have a well defined use-case 
before we can write any meaningful text.
