My understanding that as well as a reference to MLDv2 we would need to
mention that if any of the routers are 'legacy' that support only MLDv1,
then any MLDv2 routers would have to have their configuration flags set
to make them operate in MLDv1 compatibility mode. Hosts on the other
hand willl behave correctly whether they are MLDv2 or only MLDv1 capable.

The main, current benefit of MLDv2 is to support source-specific

(SSM). However, the NDP use of multicast is non-SSM (ASM or any-source
multicast) and does not need MLDv2 capability in order to function
correctly.
Yes, so not important, but...
I would support adding an additional reference to 3810 in order to
encourage
implementors to move up in capability.
I also think we should encourage this. Might then be able to get rid of
MLDv1 and simplify things later on (well, might take a very long time).
