That's a big IF. Not everybody has to do it the same way. The solution in draft-ietf-softwire-dslite-multicast-02 builds itself something without considering what DS-Lite is doing. As I told you before, DS-Lite unicast is a tunneling technology. If you don't like it it is not DS-Lite multicast to fix this.
