Please help me understand.

The standards' purpose is to facilitate the interoperability.

"MLD snooping" happens within a single device.

Its only result in a correct implementation must be "if you join the
group, you should get the traffic, if you did not, you should not"
function.

A result of composition of multiple independent correct
implementations of this function remains the same - "if you join the
group, you should get the traffic, if you did not, you should not".

So, which undefined behaviors that prevent the interop today do you
think would need to be standardized ?
