The analysis draft just clarifies what was meant.
Being pedantic, the RFC2373 text should talk about routers, not nodes.
Or better yet, the restriction should be removed as being a purely
operational difficulty that can be worked around. I'd hope this would be
done before new addr arch draft goes out of the door (commented on it
already) and addrarch will be frozen again for a a couple of years.
