Hi Adrian,

2 minor comment/question

2.1.10
"Therefore, a P2MP Path Computation Request SHOULD
   contain a parameter that allows the PCC to express a cost-benefit
   reoptimization threshold for the whole LSP as well as per
   destination"

Just to be sure to capture correctly this new requirement for the future
P2MP protocol extensions.
Basically that means encoding a new opaque to PCEP field (for instance in a
new object or TLV) that would be pass to PCE policy module.
Is that correct?

2.1.11.
"  It MAY also be possible to indicate on a path computation request a
   cost-benefit reoptimization threshold such that the tree and/or a new
   path to any individual destination is not supplied unless a certain
   improvement is made. Compare with Section 2.1.10."

Does it mean that a PCE may deny the addition of a leaf because the tree
does not provide
certain improvement?
Or do you rather mean that the PCE would not change the existing Path unless
it provides certain improvment?

I guess second option makes more sense. If correct I would suggest something
like:
"The addition of new leaves will not cause reoptimization of the existing
P2MP tree unless a certain improvement is made."
