Are we also considering FRR for Ethernet/SPB? ;-) ;-) It is hop-by-hop 
distributed routing.

So I still hold on to my first email in this thread: we should be explicit in 
the charter. Writing LDP and IP specifically, unicast and multicast, ASBR 
protection, and all the things we target.

Agree, and since there is already an MPLS-only solution, I don't see to work on 
yet another (even if it's LDP).

I argue that working on an LDP-only solution is only justified if we do not 
find a full-coverage IP&LDP concept that is practical enough. (A side-note, 
though: even if the concept is the same for IP and LDP, the lower-level details 
will be of course different for the two.)
