Hi Joel,

Good catch.

I think we just need to delete that second sentence. The behavior when pubsub 
is not supported is covered by this text: 

   Upon receipt of the Map-Request, the Map-Server processes it as
   described in [I-D.ietf-lisp-rfc6833bis].

The failure cases we wanted to cover are those in:

   The subscription of an xTR-ID to the list of subscribers for the EID-
   Record may fail for a number of reasons.  For example, because of
   local configuration policies (such as accept and drop lists of
   subscribers), or because the Map-Server has exhausted the resources
   to dedicate to the subscription of that EID-Record (e.g., the number
   of subscribers excess the capacity of the Map-Server).

Cheers,
Med
