Hi Simon, We tried in this document to avoid as much as possible including implementation details but instead we focused on the external behaviour of the interworking functions. Let me recall there are already available implementations based on the specification of draft-ietf-softwire-dslite-multicast. A demo has been organized in one of the previous IETF meetings.
Now for your comment, we can see the IGMP/MLD IWF is basically RFC4605 + address translation (draft-ietf-mboned-64-multicast-address-format). Among the use cases of high priority identified in http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-mboned-v4v6-mcast-ps-00#section-3.6, the IGMP/MLD IWF is only required for the use case described in draft-ietf-softwire-dslite-multicast. As such, does-it really make sense to have a dedicated document for the IGMP/MLD IWF? Wouldn't be efficient to have this elaborated in draft-ietf-softwire-dslite-multicast? I personally vote for the second option. Of course, if this approach is maintained, the document should be LCed also in PIM and MBONED.
