Re: draft-ietf-msdp-spec-16.txt vs. security

[Bill Fenner <fenner@research.att.com>]

MSDP is an evolutionary dead end, except it's all we've got.  There are
no promising ideas waiting in the wings for supporting interdomain any-
source multicast.  Given that, I'd expect it to keep living for a long
time, and for people to want to build on it even though it's not what we
want...

I think that MUST in an Experimental is meaningful.  Although 2119's
introduction mentions standards track documents, it seems to me that
the definitions still apply within the context of the document.

I think MUST have keyed-MD5 and MUST interoperate with implementations
that don't have it would work.  The latter allows existing implementations
to play, and the former supplies some modicum of security when moving
forward.
