Could you elaborate a bit on what you think is this "key 
functionality" and why exactly it's "key" (e.g., specific scenarios 
you have in mind)?

I'm having difficulty understanding the (relative) importance of a 
sender being able to stay quiet if there are no receivers.  The waste 
of bandwidth and processing power at the DR (who'd just discard the 
traffic) doesn't seem to be sufficiently concinving at least in the 
scenarios I have in mind.
