eg: different draft! But one which i think relates quite a bit to the
issue at hand as well and should not become an RFC without explicitly
mentioning ASM and SSM (which it does not).

I for once fail to easily determine from the claims of support whether
one could use the mechanisms described therein with SSM (i think not),
nor do i understand easily whether it would be possible to use them with
SSM if combined with draft-ietf-avt-rtcpssm without further extensions.

And this is probably not the only draft about other RTCP stuff. For
all of it, the rule applies: In the real world, customers want to move
to SSM and it needs to be easy to determine applicability  from the
drafts claims !
