Multicasting SETUP for user location

[Pete Cordell]

Nadia,

I was under the illusion that there was a range of multicast addresses
that were allocated for site specific definition.  I have looked through
the assigned numbers list and can not find such a range.  Therefore, you
are right.  If there is interest in the proposal it will be necessary to
get IANA to assign some numbers.
