My impression of this draft is that it's not about fast down detection
(as BFD is), but asymmetric discovery speed to improve efficiency. Can
you point me to the place in the BFD draft that covers this capability?

The question isn't whether or not BFD can do this particular thing --the
questions are:

1. Is this a reasonable thing to want to do?
2. Should we extend OSPF to do it?

This isn't the BFD working group (?).
