I can go along with this. I have wordsmithed that paragraph to not mention 
LISP-ALT.

I will keep then as Informative references. And to address Mirja’s comment 
about believing that a reader would need to know more about ALT and DDT, I 
would respond to say, that the documentation is saying that a map-server and 
map-resolver are last-hops/first-hops to ANY mapping database transport system. 
So you can treat it as a black box. The operation of these nodes are discussed 
in the approprorate mapping database transport systems (such as LISP-ALT and 
LISP-DDT).

There are also refernces to LISP-ALT (and LISP-DDT) when we have the option for 
xTRs to be directlry part of the mapping system. This may be a choice for LISP 
deployers when they want a less centralized mapping system. Again, there are 
just references that in this case, the xTRs are “first-hop/last-hop” nodes of 
these mapping database systems.

How does that sound Mirja?
